## Chapter Thirty-Four
**Verse 8:**
In the **Utkrishta Singhanishkridit** Vrat, one should create a sequence of numbers from one to fifteen, and write sixteen at the peak. Then, write the numbers from one to fifteen in reverse order. Here, as in the **Jghanya** and **Madhyama Singhanishkridit**, one should decrease or increase the number of fasts by one, instead of two, for each pair of numbers. The total number of fasts should be equal to the sum of all the numbers written, and the number of **Paranas** should be equal to the number of places. In this way, this Vrat has four hundred and ninety-nine fasts and sixty-one **Paranas**. This Vrat is completed in five hundred and fifty-seven days. Its sequence is as follows:
1 2 1 3 2 4 3 5 4 6 5 7 6 8 7 9 8 10 9 11 10 12 11
13 12 14 13 15 14 15 16 15 14 15 13 14 12 13
11 12 10 11 9 10 8 9 7 8 6 7 5 6 4 5 3 3 2 3 1 2 1
**Special Note:**
The meaning of verses 78, 79, and 80 can also be understood in a simple way. Scholars should consider this:
In the **Jghanya Singhanishkridit** method, write the numbers from one to five twice each, and then write the numbers from five to one twice each in reverse order. Adding all the numbers on both sides gives sixty fasts and twenty **Paranas**.
In the **Madhyama Singhanishkridit**, write the numbers from one to eight twice each, and write nine at the peak. Then, write the numbers from one to eight twice each in reverse order. Adding all the numbers gives one hundred and thirty-three fasts and thirty-three **Paranas**.
In the **Utkrishta Singhanishkridit**, write the numbers from one to fifteen twice each, and write sixteen at the peak. Then, write the numbers from one to fifteen twice each in reverse order. Adding all the numbers gives four hundred and ninety-nine fasts and sixty-one **Paranas**.
One should understand these sequences from this.
