In working out the values of *Jyā* table, the circles of different radii (24th *jya* = *jya* 90º = *Sinus totus*) viz. 120′, 3438′, 3415′, 3437′, 44″ 19″ etc were used by different workers. Since the radius was expressed in minute, the respective *Jyā* length was expressed in minute. The relative accuracy of the values may be judged from Table II in which the valucs of Sin nh as found from above are compared with their corresponding accurate values.
