When you need square feet in R-A-P-D
Measurements taken on site with a tape, and areas from house plans, come out in square feet. To compare them with the lalpurja, or to describe a plot the way a land office or a buyer in the valley would, you need the same area written as ropani-aana-paisa-dam.
Take out the largest unit first: divide by 5,476 for whole ropani, divide what is left by 342.25 for whole aana, then by 85.5625 for paisa, and the last remainder by 21.390625 gives dam, kept to two decimals.
Landmarks help you check the answer: 0-4-0-0 is 1,369 sq ft, 0-8-0-0 (half a ropani) 2,738 sq ft and 1-0-0-0 5,476 sq ft, so 3,000 sq ft has to come out just above 0-8.
Worked example: 3,000 sq ft
- Ropani: 3,000 ÷ 5,476 = 0.5478, so 0 ropani.
- Aana: 3,000 ÷ 342.25 = 8.77, so 8 aana, leaving 262 sq ft.
- Paisa: 262 ÷ 85.5625 = 3.06, so 3 paisa, leaving 5.31 sq ft.
- Dam: 5.31 ÷ 21.390625 = 0.2484, which rounds to 0.25 dam.
So 3,000 sq ft is 0-8-3-0.25. The main converter works the same steps through for 1,815.56 sq ft, which comes to 0-5-1-0.88.
To check it, go back: 0-8-3-0.25 = 8 × 342.25 + 3 × 85.5625 + 0.25 × 21.390625 = 3,000.04 sq ft. The few hundredths over 3,000 come from rounding the dam to two decimals.
Common mistakes
- Dividing once and stopping. 3,000 ÷ 342.25 = 8.77 aana, but that is not 0-8-77 or 0-8-7-7: the part of an aana still has to be split into paisa and dam.
- Leaving 4 paisa or 4 dam uncarried. 0-4-4-0 should be written 0-5-0-0, and 0-0-0-4 is 0-0-1-0.
- Using 21.39 sq ft a dam. The exact figure is 21.390625; the difference is tiny, but it can change the last decimal of the dam.
