274. Question: What is called *chay*?
Answer: In the mathematics of *shreni vyavahar*, the magnitude of equal loss or equal increase is called *chay*.
275. Question: What is the method of calculating the magnitude of *chay* in this case?
Answer: By adding one more *guna hani* dimension to the *nishekahar* and dividing by two, the resulting value is multiplied by the *guna hani* dimension. Dividing the product by the substance of the desired *guna hani* gives the magnitude of *chay* for the desired *guna hani*. For example, in *nishekahar* 16, adding one more *guna hani* dimension gives 25. Half of that, 12.5, is multiplied by the *guna hani* dimension, *p*, to get 100. Dividing this by the substance of each desired *guna hani* gives the *chay* of the first and other *guna hani*s in order: 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1.
