bases, surds, indices, fractions and logical procedures applicable for the numerate, innumerate as well as infinite sets, with syllogistic way.
For example. "That which is gross and describable in brief, should be stated first. "For the doubt, as to how time measure is briefer than quarter measure, the explanation is that various topics on world-line (jaga-śreni) measure and its logarithms, along with those of islands and oceans lead to a greater detail, hence time measure is briefer to state, Yet the aspirant wishes to know as to how the time-measure is fine and the quarter measure is finer because within the innumerate part of (the set of points in angula measure, there happen to be innumerate acons (kalpas). The author refutes this as he finds that of this is recognized, then the context of fluent presentation will arise after that of the quarter presentation. He further explains that in a fluent-finger constituted of infinite ultimate particles, the content is only one quarter-fingers, hence it is not appropriate to assert that the object which is formalized to have many points, is
The quarter is fine, and fluent is finer, because there are infinite quarterfingers in a fluent-finger. 35
There is a syllogism for the stability of variable sets; "There is always inflow according to outflow of the stable sets, always.36 Thus Vīrasena uses reductio-ad-absurdum, method of one to many correspondence, contradiction, hetuvāda, methods of cut, division, distribution, reduction, measure, reason, explanation, abstraction and so on for decision, determination, confirmation etc. of mathematical measures, set theoretic approach is visible throughout.
We may conclude, by the following arguments, omitting various logical approaches in the following centuries of the great commentators, commenting upon mathematical and symbolic procedures on karma theory and beyond. The following style again confirms the mathematico-philosophic trends of the Jaina school, the style being that used by Vīrasenācārya. 38
Doubt : The omniscience tends to with the help of norm, so why should it not be called dependent ?
Explanation : As the tendency of the Omniscience is found in the perished past objects and the non-created future objects, it cannot be stated that Omniscience tends to with the help of norm.
Doubt : If Omniscience tends to in the non-existent, then let it also tend to in the horns of an ass ?
