The 'Maharajah of Travancore was
on one occasion, at leapt, worth his
weight iti gold, for he was weighed
against a Imre mass of -the king of met-
als, and, after the scales were balanced,
the mass.. of gold. syas distributed in
charity. This custom, called "Tulabhare,"
is one of great antiquity, and is said to
be traceable in Travancore to the fourth
century. It is not unknown in other
parts of India, though, of Course, gold is
only' used i the case of wealthy pea
sons, • humbler folk being . content to
weigh themshelves against spices or
groan. On the becasion mentioned the
Maharajah 'weighed a little over nine
storm. The Brahminseit is said, wished
to defer the ceremony in the hope that
the Maharajah might more nearly ap.
preach the Weight of his father, who did
not undergo the -rite until 47 years old,
wheti he weighed 14 3-4 stone. -Golden
