2.2 Numbers in Non-Metric Scale Notation
In pali and Prakrit the scale of centesimal is generally used. Around the fifth century B.C., we find successful attempts are made to continue the series of number names based on this scale. The scale of crore is also developed in India before the commencement of the Christian era. A denominational name like kodakodi is found in the earlier Jaina treatise Anuyogadvāra-sutra. This term is frequently used in the Jaina school and hence in Nemicandra's works also. One Kodakodi stands for 10 millon x 10 million i.e. 1014 in the numerical sense. Numbers of quadratic order are written by it. The concerning instances under the RWM from Nemicandra's works are as follows

2.3 Vinculum Numbers
The subtractive principle is applied to compose the vinculum number. It consists of both the positive and negative digits. By applying the vinculum approach the computational complexities can be drastically cut down to their minimum level. This can be seen in vertical and crosswise, an overview of 20, 21 vedic mathematics etc."
The number 19, 29, 39, 49 etc. offer as Indian instances of the vinculum
