(1) The words Tāra, Vistāra, and Viśāla seem, generally speaking, to have been used to signify length, breadth, and width, and I have rendered them as a rule accordingly. Occasionally, however, passages are met with in which such a distinction between the words is not apparent. Both Tāra and Viśāla are sometimes used in the sense of Vistāra or breadth.
