286 and Mah. 37. MEASUEES OF CAPACITY. 19 considered as an example of the use of khari ; but curiously enough khdri occurs at Jataka, p. 9, lines 15, 24 as a measure of weight. Moggallana follows the current Sanskrit tables except in the data regarding the vdha, ammana, and kumbha ; and in the omission of the measures less than the pasata, by which the Sanskrit tables establish an artificial connexion between this table and the tables of weight. ' The ammana (Sinhalese amuna, Tamil ambana) now ...varies in different parts of Ceylon from five to seven bushels and a half. In the Mahavansa, pp. 174, 157, an ammana of sand is mentioned ; at J4t. 33 an ammana of kahdpanas ; and at Jataka, p. 62, line 15, we are told of a mattrass made of an ammana of jasmine and other flowers. 34. In the commentary on the Patimokkha ^ occurs the following interesting passage : ' There are three kinds of begging bowls — the high bowl, the middle bowl, and the low bowl. The high bowl takes half an dlhaka of boiled rice (or the fourth of that quantity of uncooked rice) and a suitable supply of curry : the middle bowl takes a ndlikd ' of boiled rice (or the fourth of that quantity of uncooked rice) and a suitable supply of curry : the low bowl takes a pattha of boiled rice (or the fourth of that quantity of uncooked rice) and a suitable supply of curry.
