Two traditions for ''mana'' (weight and measures) are mentioned in Kalpa Sthana, namely, ''Kalinga'' (part of present Orissa) and ''Magadha'' (part of present Bihar). Charaka opines that Magadha is better than former. Chakrapani considers this statement as unauthentic. It is also suggested that when weight of ingredients in a recipe is not specified, then all the ingredients are to be taken in equal quantity.
