Source: Wisdom Library: Hinduism骋补惫测奴迟颈; ancient Hindu unit of measurement of distance. 2000 Dhanus make 1 骋补惫测奴迟颈, and 4 骋补惫测奴迟颈 make up for a single Yojana.

If we consider a single Yojana to be 5 miles (~8.04km), one 骋补惫测奴迟颈 would correspond to roughly 1.25 miles (~2.01km)
In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
: archive.org: Trisastisalakapurusacaritra骋补惫测奴迟颈 (啶椸さ啷嵿く啷傕い啶�) or Gavy奴ta refers to a unit of measurement.鈥敵也贡共馀倬� can mean either 1 kos or 2 kos. Hemacandra himself, Abhidh膩nacint膩ma峁噄 3.551, gives 2000 bows as equal to 1 驳补惫测奴迟补 (驳补惫测奴迟颈) or 1 kos. This is the usual Jain mensuration. But it is also used as equivalent to 2 kos. Hemacandra so uses it in Abhidh膩nacint膩ma峁噄 1.60. According to the Samavasara峁嘺stavana, IA 40, p. 130, the caitya-tree should be 12 times the height of the Arhat. Ajita was 450 bows tall, so 5400 bows was the correct height for the caitya-tree.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
