The Petersburg Dictionary explains mana by "ein bestimmtes Geraeth oder
Gewicht" (Gold).]

Sprache, p. 272, mana is an Akkadian word.]

[Footnote 131: According to the weights of the lions and ducks
preserved in the British Museum, an Assyrian mina was = 7747 grains.
The same difference is still preserved to the present day, as the
_man_ of Shiraz and Bagdad is just double that of Tabraz and Bushir,
the average of the former being 14.0 and that of the latter only
6.985. See Cunningham, "Journal of the Asiatic Society," Calcutta,
1881, p. 163.]

[Footnote 139: In the Mahabharata and elsewhere the _K_inas are
mentioned among the Dasyus or non-Aryan races in the north and in the
east of India. King Bhagadatta is said to have had an army of _K_inas
and Kiratas,(B1) and the Pa_nd_avas are said to reach the town of the
King of the Kulindas, after having passed through the countries of
_K_inas, Tukharas, and Daradas. All this is as vague as ethnological
indications generally are in the late epic poetry of India. The only
possibly real element is that Kirata and _K_ina soldiers are called
ka_nk_ana, gold or yellow colored,(B2) and compared to a forest of
Kar_n_ikaras, which were trees with yellow flowers.(B3) In Mahabh. VI.
9, v. 373, vol. ii., p. 344, the _K_inas occur in company with
Kambo_g_as and Yavanas, which again conveys nothing definite.

hoang-ti, 247 B.C. But the name itself, though in a more
