dpag tshad

A measure of distance corresponding to the distance traversed on horse without unyoking. It is sometimes estimated equal to about 4 or 5 miles, sometimes 9 miles.
yojanas

A measure of distance, often translated with "league." The exact value is disputed and varies in different sources from 1 to 40km.

The longest unit of distance in classical India. The lack of a uniform standard for the smaller units means that there is no precise equivalent, especially as its theoretical length tended to increase over time. Therefore it can mean between four and ten miles.
