Appendix-3
Statement of the Anuyogadwar Sutra etc. regarding the hairs to be used to fill the Palya
To demonstrate the proof of the Palya-upam, a Palya-gaha one yojana long, one yojana wide and one yojana deep has been ordained to be filled with hairs from one to a year. The different perspectives in this regard are clarified here.
The Anuyogadwar Sutra states in the verse "Egahibim, Dehinateyahim Jav Ukkoesenam Sas Rattarakan" Walaggodiin" and the Pravachansaro-uddar also has a similar text. The commentary of both explains that the hairs that fall out on the first day after shaving the head are called Ekahiky, the hairs that fall out on the second day are called Vahilay, the hairs that fall out on the third day are called Nyahithy, and so on, the hairs that grow out in seven days should be taken.
The Nacha-lokaprakash states that the hairs that grow out from one to seven days after shaving the head of the people of Uttara Kuru should be taken. It further states that
