Puṭṭi.�(CITD), Telugu; a measure equal to twenty tūmus; also called khaṇḍi (spelt candy in English and found as khaṇḍikā in Sanskrit inscriptions) and regarded as equal to between 800 and 1000 seers. Khaṇḍi at Masulipatam has 3 weights, viz. 488 pounds for tobacco, 500 pounds for metals, hardware, etc., and 560 pounds for sugar, dates and other soft articles. The ṭṭ and its fractions also denote the area of the land that is supposed by some to produce the particular quantities of grain. According to some, it is a land measure equal to 8 acres being presumably the area which can be sown with a ṭṭ of grain. There were different kinds of ṭṭs, e. g. gāl- ṭṭ. Cf. also pelle-ṭṭ regarded as equal to 80 kuñcas and Malaca-ṭṭ or Malacca ton as equal to 300 to 240 kuñcas. (EI 4, 27), a land and grain measure. (IE 8-5), same as Telugu ṭṭ-dosillu, ‘a fee of two hand- fuls from each ṭṭ of grain paid to the village-servants�.
