आधूम्रं व्रणबहुलं स्वल्पगुणं चाप्नुयाद्द्विशतभागम् । इति पद्मरागमूल्यं पूर्वाचार्यैः समुद्दिष्टम् ॥ ८२-११ ॥

If the gem be wholly red black and full of wounds and if the good qualities be very few, the price shall be reduced to a two-hundredth part. Thus has been described the valuation of rubies (padmarāga) by the ancient writers.
