Ratti ya Rattak jismein mein uljha hua thaa, uski darusti satday ko
ludhiana mein bookfair laga hua hai ,wahan jakar maine dour kar lee
thee, asal mein mein Rattak aur Ratti alag alag samjhata thaa, jab ki
Ratti ko hee RATTAK (sanghya) kaha gaya hai.
Ratti jo pehle zamane mein tolney ke kaam aya karti thee, uska niche
likha farmula hai (measuring scale ) purane zamane ke
anusar......
8 KHASKHAS BRABAR hotey hain 1 CHAWAL (8 khaskhas=1 chawal)
8 CHAWAL BRABAR hotey hain 1 RATTI (8 chawal=1 ratti)
8 RATTI BRABAR hotey hain 1 MASHA (8 ratti=1 masha)
12 MASHA BRABAR hotey hain 1 TOLA (12 masha=1 tola 0
yahan par yeh note karein ki 1 tola purane samay mein app. 12 gms ka hua
karta thaa.

pea flowers, are small, pale, violet to pink and arranged in clusters.
Fruit a short, oblong pod, splitting before falling to reveal 3-8 shiny
hard seeds, 6-7 mm long, scarlet with black bases. The seeds of abrus

cases of death by a finger-prick while boring the seeds for beadwork.
The seeds were traditionally used to weigh jewellery in India. The
