The wise says that this is the measure of the circumference when the diameter of a circle is Nava-nikharva ( 900,000,000,000)
Meaning 2827433388233 is the circumference of a circle whose diameter is nava nikharva yielding:
the value of Pi as 3.14159265359, which is accurate up to 11 decimal places.
