सप्त अरत्नि उत्सेधो नव आयामो दश परिणाहः प्रमाणतश् चत्वारिंशद् वर्षो भवत्य् उत्तमः, त्रिंशद् वर्षो मध्यमः, पञ्च विंशति वर्षो अवरः ॥

(That which is) seven aratnis in height, nine aratnis in length, ten aratnis in circumference and is (as can be inferred from such measurement), 40 years old, is the best. That which is 30 years old is of middle class; and that which is 25 years old is of the lowest class.
