The story

The endowment assigns twelve kahapanas for clothing to each of twenty resident monks; principal and recurring entitlement are denominated in the same local unit. [1]

Contractual principal and periodic entitlement establish a local account unit. Do not equate every South Asian pana/karshapana by name. [2]
