In many Jain and ancient Indian texts, 1 yojana is treated as a large distance unit.

• The common approximate value: about 8 miles, which is roughly 12 to 13 kilometers.
• Some sources give slightly different numbers (because old measurements varied by region), but the widely used estimate today is around 12–13 km per yojana.

So, Yojan ≈ 12–13 km (about 8 miles).
