    aṅgula I. m. (and according to one authority also n.) (-laḥ

    -lam) 1 A finger. 2 The thumb. 3 A finger's breadth, as a

    linear measure, viz. a measure of eight barley corns joined

    side by side in breadth or of three grains of rice in length.

    Twelve angulas make a vitasti or span, and twenty-four

    a hasta or cubit. 4 (In astronomy.) A digit or one twelfth

    part of any dimension, subdivided into sixty vyangulas.

    E. aṅgula is considered by the gramm. authorities as a sub-

    stitute of aṅguli, as which it ought to occur only at the end

    of certain Tatpur., derived then with samāsānta aff. ac and

    at the end of certain Bahuvr., derived with samāsānta aff. ṣac.

    In both cases it is a neutre. The native dictionaries how-

    ever state as above.

    II. m. (-laḥ) A proper name of the sage Chāṇakya. E.

    aṅg, uṇ. aff. ulan(?).
