In Jain cosmology, distances are measured using a unique set of units. The most important units of measurement are:

Main Units of Distance in Jain Cosmology

1. Angula (Finger-breadth)
2. Hasta (Hand-length)
3. Danda (Rod)
4. Yojana
5. Rajju
6. Krosha

Table of Distance Measurement

| Unit Name | Equivalent (Approximate) | |----------------|--------------------------------------------| | Angula | 1 finger-breadth (about 1.763 cm) | | Hasta | 24 angulas (about 42.31 cm) | | Danda | 4 hastas (about 1.693 m) | | Dhanusha | 4 hastas (same as danda, about 1.693 m) | | Krosha | 2000 dhanushas (about 3.2 km) | | Yojana | 4 kroshas (about 12.8 km) | | Rajju | 2,097,152,000,000 yojanas |

Note: The exact lengths can vary in different Jain texts, but the above approximations are commonly accepted.

Hierarchy (as per Jain texts)

• 1 danda = 4 hastas
• 1 krosha = 2000 dhanushas
• 1 yojana = 4 kroshas
• 1 rajju = 2,097,152,000,000 yojanas

Example from Jain Texts:

• The universe (Lokākāśa) is described as being 14 Rajjus high.
• The diameter of the middle-world (Madhya-loka) is stated as 100,000 yojanas.
