A merchant points to one specific pile of wheat and sells that entire pile for a fixed 10,000 rupees. The object is the physically identified lot, not an open-ended number of units.
The exact count of measures has not been calculated, but the lot and lump-sum price can still be known through identification and inspection.
An unseen, unfixed or disputable heap raises different issues; bulk sale does not mean selling wholly indeterminate property.
