FAQs

What does ‘śuddha’ likely imply in this technical context?

A baseline/standard form (and possibly unmixed material composition) used as the reference category for comparison and valuation.

Why specify ‘ekaśīrṣaka’ for a hāra?

Terminal structure affects workmanship, material use, and therefore valuation—critical for procurement and audit.
