^{page 699 note 2} The chāyā-pauruṣa, or larger unit for measuring the shadow of the gnomon, is defined as 12 aṅgulas long; book ii, ch. 20; p. 106. Thus, the height of the gnomon also being 12 aṅgulas, the forenoon was divided into four equal parts by the moments when the length of the shadow was 3 gnomons, one gnomon, or ⅓ gnomon, until mid-day, when it would be nil; and the afternoon likewise in reverse order. These lengths allowed of easy determination: see the formula given by DrFleet, , JRAS., 1914, p. 174, note.Google Scholar

^{page 700 note 3} Book ii, ch. 20; p. 107. Dr. Fleet has discussed this passage, p. 219 ante. With regard to the term śalākā given to the gold rod or pin with which the hole was made, I would add to his note ² on p. 223, that Wilson in his note on the passage in the Viṣṇu Purāṇa (vi, 3, 8) says śalākā must mean a pipe. But that cannot be. It must have been a solid wire-rod, because to fashion a fixed quantity of gold into cylindrical form of a fixed length determines its diameter, if the cylinder is solid, and therefore determines the size of the hole made therewith; but, if the cylinder is a pipe, determines nothing as to the external or internal diameter of the pipe, and therefore determines neither the size of the hole in the pitcher into which the pipe would be inserted nor the size of the pipe-channel through which the water would flow out.

Shama Sastri in his translation paraphrases rather than translates this passage, and renders the expression chāyā-nāḷikā-pratodena, “by striking the hours of the day as determined by measuring shadows”; but the shadow of the gnomon could not indicate the nālikās of 24 minutes, unless very careful and elaborate measurements were made frequently, and nothing could be determined in cloudy weather or at night.

^{page 701 note 2} This was a common practice in later times. Alberūnī, e.g., says that the expiry of the praharas or watches was announced by beating a drum or blowing a conch: Alberūnī, 's India, vol. i, p. 337.Google Scholar

^{page 702 note 5} The third and fourth eighth-parts immediately before noon.

^{page 702 note 6} The fifth and sixth eighth-parts immediately after noon. The reading in the text, pratipāna, “drinking,” must be a mistake, because “three continuous hours for drinking” is absurd. The correct reading is no doubt that put in a note, pratipādana, “training and manége”; and I have adopted it.

^{page 703 note 1} R. Shama Sastri translates this as “two (out of eight) parts of the night”; but this rendering leaves a large portion of the night unspecified, and only three hours for sleep is insufficient. Bhāga here does not refer to the eighth-parts mentioned before, for elephants are left to themselves at night. It is merely “a portion”. The meaning is that elephants sleep about two-thirds of the night, and are awake and restless about one-third.

^{page 703 note 3} Āsvananā might refer to a drum, gong or conch.
