v1.c6.103
(15) “In some table the aratni is distinguished from the hasta, and is defined as measuring 21 aṅgula. But the “Śulvasūtra” of Baudhāyana defines it as equal to 2 prādeśa each of 12 aṅgula, and so agrees in making it equal to 24 aṅgula. In any case, our present point is that the “Kauṭilīya-Arthaśāstra” gives its value as 24 aṅgula.” (Fleet *J. R. A. S.*, 1912, p. 231 notes 1, 2.). Compare also *ibid.* pp. 231, 232, 233:
