9.28

Yuxun (俞旬, fanqie 庾朱 [y/zhu]). Also written youxun (yojana) or youyan, or written as yushena; these are all one and the same, and are corrupt. Correctly spoken it is yushanna (yojana). Translated here it means 'conjoining' or 'fitting', meaning calculating the proper measure, identical to the courier relay stations of this region. Note that five hundred bows make one krośa, and eight krośas make one yojana, which corresponds to thirty li in this region. It refers to the number of li traversed in one day by an ancient sage king.
