Here the process of finding out, from the given diameter, the area of the closs-section of a cylinder is supposed to be known This is given in the sixth Vyuvalara, in the 19th stanza, where the area of a circle is said to be approxi- mately equal to the diameter squared and then divided by 4 and multiplied by 3 Kranagaru is a kind of fragrant wood buint in fire as incense. 15-16. In this problem, the sticani of water is as long as the mountain is high, so that as soon as it reaches the bottom of the mountain, it is supposel to cease to flow at the summit. For finding out the quantity of water in Valas, etc, the relation between cubical measure and liquid measure should have been given. The Sanskrit commentary in P and the Kanarese tika in B state that 1 cubic angula of water is equal to 1 harsa thereof in liquid measure.
