Attempt to explain these ten types has been made by Abhaidevasüri, B.B. Dutta, H.R. Kapadia and L.C. Jain. But the explanations made by L.C. Jain are more closed to the reality. Here I want to mention that the mathematics found in the Dhavala and Gommaṭasara are comparatively more advanced, therefore Abhaidevasüri, B.B. Dutta, H.R. Kapadia could't imagine these advanced topics.
In many commentories of Thanam, we find this verse with minor changes. The interpretation made by Abhaidevastri is misleading. The same type of interpretation is given by Acarya Tulsiji and his team in the edition of Thanam, published by Jaina Vishva Bharati, Ladnun. As I have mentioned earlier that the Jaina School of Mathematics came into light only in the 20th C.A.D. and many aspects explored in the later half of 20th C.A.D. Due to this reason, B.B. Dutta and H.R. Kapadia cannot imagine the extent of Mathematical knowledge contained in Dhavata and Gommalasara. Due to it, they cannot interpretate the term properly. L.C. Jain, who has gone through the mathematics of Tiloyapannat. Dhavata and Gommatasara interpretated well the different forms. This topic has beer discussed in detail in my article.
