The kos (Hindi: कोस), also spelled coss, koss, kosh, krosh, and krosha, is a unit of measurement which is derived from a Sanskrit term, क्रोश krośa, which means to "call", as the unit was supposed to represent the distance at which another human could be heard. It is an ancient Indian subcontinental standard unit of distance, in use since at least 4 BC. According to the Artha-śāstra, a krośa or kos is about 3000 meters or 1.8 miles.

| - Koß war ein indisches Längenmaß und Meile. Recht unterschiedliche Werte kennzeichnen das Maß, zumal es auch den königlichen Koß gab. So wurden 42 Koß auf 1 Grad am Äquator gerechnet. An der Küste der Koromandel auch Gau oder Gos genannt, waren es 11 Koß, in Malabar 12 Koß und in Surat 10 Koß. Der chinesische Koß oder Li war 1771,5 Pariser Fuß (0,32484 Meter) oder 575,45 Meter lang und es entsprachen 193 2/5 Koß auf 1 Äquatorgrad. Nach anderen Angaben
* 33 Koß per Äquatorgrad = 15 Meilen (geografische deutsche)
* 2 1/5 Koß = 1 Meilen (geografische deutsche)
* 1 Koß = 2 Meilen (engl.) (de)

It is an ancient Indian subcontinental standard unit of distance, in use since at least 4 BC. According to the Artha-śāstra, a krośa or kos is about 3000 meters or 1.8 miles. Another conversion is based on the Mughal emperor Akbar, who standardized the unit to 5000 guz in the Ain-i-Akbari. The British in India standardized Akbar's guz to 33 inches, making the kos approximately 4191 meters. Another conversion suggested a kos to be approximately 2 English miles. (en)
