1 dhanusha is 6 feet? So about 10 feet?
Answer
No. In the common modern conversion, 1 dhanusha is about 6 feet, not 10 feet.So:
- 1 dhanusha ≈ 6 feet
- 10 feet ≈ 1.67 dhanusha
Explanation
In Jain texts, traditional units of length are often expressed in ancient measures. When converted into modern units, dhanusha is usually taken as approximately 6 feet.If you are reading a scriptural or cosmological description, the exact equivalent can vary a little by source or commentary, but 6 feet is the usual simple approximation.
