सुवर्णसूत्रान्तरं सोपानकम् ॥ कZ_०२.११.२५ ॥
suvarṇasūtrāntaraṃ sopānakam
“sopānaka”指一种饰物,其间隔/分段以金线(suvarṇa-sūtra)按阶梯式、递进式排列。
Pattern definitions make acceptance testing objective and reduce valuation disputes; they also deter under-delivery of gold content.
Clear type-definitions allow authorities to prove misdeclaration (e.g., claiming sopānaka while supplying a simpler form), enabling fines or confiscation under trade rules.
