धणुवीसडदसयकदी जोयणछादालहीण तिसहस्सा । सहस धरणं विसया दुगुणा असरिणत्ति ॥ १६८ ॥ धनुर्विशत्यष्टदशक कृतिः योजनषट्चत्वारिंशद्धीनत्रिसहस्राणि | अष्टसहस्रं धनुषां विषया द्विगुणा असंज्ञीति ॥ १६८ ॥

वगुणिदे सहिदे चक्खुप्फासस्स श्रद्धाणं ॥ १७० ॥ त्रिशतषष्टिविरहितलक्षं दशमूलताडिते मूलम् । नवगुणिते षष्ठिते चक्षुःस्पर्शस्य अध्वानम् ॥ १७० ॥

Commentary.
The actual calculation works like this:
/ ( 100000 - 360 ) 2 x 10 x 9 = 60 99640 X 9 : 60/10 - 14946 / 10 -47263-392042 Yojans.
