Vedic Reference

English

 Vyāma in the Saṃhitās^1 and the Brāhmaṇas^2 denotes the
‘span’ of the outstretched arms as a measure of length. It
may be estimated at six feet or equivalent to a fathom.^3
1) Av. vi. 137,  2
 Taittirīya Saṃhitā, 
v. 1,  1,  4
 2,  5,  1,  etc.
2) Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa,  x. 2,  3,  1. 2
i. 2,  5,  14
 vii. 1,  1,  37,  where the
scholiast equates it to 4 Aratnis or
cubits (while the scholiast on Āśvalā-
yana Gṛhya Sūtra,  ix. 1,  9,  regards it
as equal to 5 Aratnis). According to
the Śulva Sūtra of Baudhāyana,  the
Aratni equals 24 aṅgula (= (3/4) inch). See
Fleet,  Journal of the Royal Asiatie
Society,  1912,  231,  233,  234.
3) See Eggeling,  Sacred Books of the
East,  41,  309,  n. 5.
