**Chapter 61**
**432** - Each Chaturanta Chakravarti Raja (king) had sixty-nine crore villages (in his kingdom).
**433** - The Vayu Kumaras (celestial beings) are said to have sixty-nine lakh abodes (buildings).
**434** - The practical danda (unit of measurement) is sixty-nine angulas (inches) in length. Similarly, one should know the measurements of the dhanu (bow), nalika (pipe), yuga (yoke), akkha (axle), and musala (pestle).
**Discussion** - There are two types of angulas: practical and impractical. The angula used for measuring hastas (hands), dhanus (bows), gavyutis (a type of rope), etc., is called the practical angula. The impractical angula varies in size depending on the individual's finger length. It is not being discussed here. One hasta is twenty-four angulas, and one danda is four hastas. Therefore, one danda is sixty-nine angulas (24 x 4 = 96). Similarly, the dhanu, etc., are also sixty-nine angulas in length.
**435** - The first muhurta (auspicious time) on the inner circle, when the sun is moving, is said to have a shadow of sixty-nine angulas.
