Of them, what is conceptual is to be postponed (for consideration later on in sutta No. 381). 379. Of them, what is practical is (as follows): (Suppose) there is a particular (circular) store, which is (by ussehamgula) one jogara in length and breadth and one joyara in depth. As regards its surrounding wall (that is, circumference), it is three times (of one joyaņa, that is, three joyanas) and extra-plus, That re is completely...up to...packed with many kotis of hair-tips grown in one day, to days, three days, (etc.).
