Excerpt from Notes on the Monetary System of Ancient Kaśmir

In the second Prakis'a of this text we have a large number of forms for commercial contracts, bonds, Official orders, etc., all drawn up in a queer Sanskrit jargon. This, I believe, represents the medium of correspondence used by the official classes of Kasmir during the last centuries of Hindu rule and the period immediately follow ing. In these forms the use of the word diandra in the general sense of money, cash, is extremely common. Sums of money are regularly expressed by the word dinndm. This is prefixed either fully or in the ebbre viated form (ii to the amounts which are ordinarily stated in round hundreds, thousands, and lakhs.
