v1.c6.s25.411

Each of these nine measures is again divided into nine kinds : Tasmād ekaṁ tu pratyekaṁ nava-mānam ihochyate। (ibid. 22). Under (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), the proportions naturally vary on various occasions; no specific rules are, therefore, prescribed. The details of (v) cubit or hasta and (vii) aṅgula will be found under the term 'Aṅgula' and the details of (vi) tāla are given under 'Tāla-māna.'
