धनुःसहस्रे द्वे क्रोशश्चतुःक्रोशं च योजनम् । एतद्योजनमानं ते कथितं भरतर्षभ
dhanuḥsahasre dve krośaścatuḥkrośaṃ ca yojanam | etadyojanamānaṃ te kathitaṃ bharatarṣabha
धनुस्सहस्रे द्वे क्रोशः, चतुःक्रोशं तु योजनम्। एवं ते योजनमानं कथितं, भरतर्षभ॥
Mārkaṇḍeya
Tirtha: Revā tīrtha-mārga (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Listener: Yudhiṣṭhira
Scene: A schematic map-like scroll shows a river route with marked intervals; the teacher indicates ‘2000 dhanu = 1 krośa’ and ‘4 krośa = 1 yojana’ to the king.
Pilgrimage merit is often tied to distance and effort; therefore correct units uphold fairness and accuracy in dharmic accounting.
No single site is named here; it provides the baseline unit (yojana) used across Revā-region tīrtha descriptions.
None; it defines distance units: 2000 dhanus = 1 krośa, 4 krośas = 1 yojana.
