Arthuna

One inscription dated to 1080 is mostly unintelligible, but the parts that can be made out include a list of items sold at a hatta in Arthuna.

This list includes barley, sugarcane, jaggery, liquor, brass products, madder, betel leaves, salt, and possibly also "loads of grain" and cattle feed.

The record also mentions at least two types of manufacturers present at Arthuna: kamsyakaras, or brassworkers, and kalyapalas, or liquor distillers.

Arthuna formed the central node in a cluster of trade centres in southern Rajasthan; Talabad and Panahera are two others attested from contemporary sources.
