सम्वपि पुवभंगा उवरिमभंगेसु एकमेकेसु । मेलन्तित्ति य कमन गुणिदे उप्पज्जदे संखा ॥३६॥ सर्वेपि पूर्वभङ्गा उपरिमभङ्गेषु एकैकेषु । मिलन्ति इति च क्रमशो गुणिते उत्पद्यते संख्या ॥ ३६ ॥
86. All the elements of each preceding class combine one by one with elements of the succeeding classes and by (their) successive multiplications is produced the number (of the combinations).
