May ilan (na banal na pook) ay sukat na kalahating yojana; may ilan ay kalahati pa ng kalahating iyon. May ilan ay binibilang ayon sa sukat na nivartana, at may ilan ayon sa sukat na daṇḍa.

Sacred places are described with precise traditional measures, emphasizing that tīrtha-dharma is grounded in an ordered, knowable sacred geography.
Prabhāsa-kṣetra, whose holy sub-sites are being described by their varying extents.
No specific rite is prescribed here; the verse focuses on the traditional measurement of sacred areas.
