Even after the time of Mahavira, gold coins continued to circulate in India. The gold coin that foreign rulers introduced in India was called a dinar. The word 'dinar' was accepted as it is in the Sanskrit language. The gold coin that was circulated during the reign of Muslim emperors was called a mohar or asharfi. After that, the circulation of gold coins ceased in India. Social Prestige
5. Anand was a person who was consulted by many kings, rulers, powerful and influential men [sword-wielding, respected citizens, landowning landlords, heads of large families, wealthy and influential merchants, commanders of armies] and merchants who traveled to distant lands with many small traders. He was consulted in many matters, causes, deliberations, family problems, confidential matters, private matters, decisions, and interactions. He was the center of the family, the standard, the foundation, the support, the eye, the guide, the foundation [the standard, the foundation, the support, the eye], and the enhancer of all work. Discussion
The words 'sword' etc. used here reveal the form of the distinguished people of that time. This characteristic was related to different areas. These words indicate all those economic, commercial, administrative, practical and public relations characteristics that were important and respected in the society of that time. This passage clearly introduces Anand's broad, influential and respectable personality. He was such a generous, serious and high-minded person that all kinds of distinguished people considered it appropriate to consult him in their work and seek his advice.
Another important point in this passage is that it sheds light on the unity, mutual loyalty and harmony of Anand's family life. Anand was the center of the whole family and was eager for the development and prosperity of the family. The metaphor of the 'meḍhi' for Anand is very important here.
