GSS -7/21 & 7/63. The name of ellipse is here з In the Triśatika of Sridhara, it is discussed under the name Yavākāra. Both are not available in any contemporary or prior book 41.
Finally I would like to suggest to write a complete book on Jaina School of Mathematics which may include all the references of Jaina Contributions. Certainly, it is a major project which can be completed by a team of Mathematicians, expert of Jainism and language expert. The proper evaluation of kamanuyoga and Drvyanuyoga should be done by mathematical point of view.
I am sure that this august gathering of this seminar which includes experts and dedicated social workers must think over it and take necessary decision in near future.
