[Advaita-l] Query on size of yagnopavItaM

[R Krishnamoorthy]

Dears
I remember that the size- length- of the yagnopa veetham should be, 16
finger size-in Tamil they say viralkadai for the single thread. So it
should be96such finger breadth for a gruhastha. THIS was as per an answer
the learned person gave in Sankara TV some time back. I may be corrected.
