TRANSLATION — TRADUCCION

Each day the gem would produce eight bhāras of gold, my dear Prabhu, and the place in which it was kept and properly worshiped would be free of calamities such as famine or untimely death, and also of evils like snake bites, mental and physical disorders and the presence of deceitful persons.

Cada día la gema producirá ocho bhāras de oro, mi querido Prabhu, el lugar en el que se guarde y se le adore adecuadamente estará libre de calamidades como el hambre o la muerte prematura, asimismo de males como mordeduras de serpientes, desórdenes físicos mentales y la presencia de personas engañosas.

PURPORT — SIGNIFICADO

	Śrīla Śrīdhara Svāmī gives the following śāstric reference concerning the bhāra:			Śrīla Śrīdhara Svāmī da la siguiente referencia śāstrica sobre el bhāra:

	caturbhir vrīhibhir guñjāṁ guñjāḥ pañca paṇaṁ paṇān aṣṭau dharaṇam aṣṭau ca karṣaṁ tāṁś caturaḥ palam tulāṁ pala-śataṁ prāhur bhāraḥ syād viṁśatis tulāḥ			caturbhir vrīhibhir guñjāṁ guñjāḥ pañca paṇaṁ paṇān aṣṭau dharaṇam aṣṭau ca karṣaṁ tāṁś caturaḥ palam tulāṁ pala-śataṁ prāhur bhāraḥ syād viṁśatis tulāḥ

	“Four rice grains are called one guñjā; five guñjās, one paṇa; eight paṇas, one karṣa; four karṣas, one pala; and one hundred palas, one tulā. Twenty tulās make up one bhāra.” Since there are about 3,700 grains of rice in an ounce, the Syamantaka jewel was producing approximately 170 pounds of gold every day.			«Cuatro granos de arroz se denominan guñjā; cinco guñjās, un paṇa; ocho paṇas, un karṣa; cuatro karṣas, un pala; y cien palas, un tulā. Veinte tulās forman un bhāra». Como hay alrededor de 3,700 granos de arroz en veintinueve gramos, la joya Syamantaka producía aproximadamente 77 kilos de oro cada día.
