innumerable the exact number is not conveyed In order to convey innumerable in more exact terms it is alternatively expressed as sankhyat Kotakoti (numerable ten million square) To further clarify, it has been stated as over three yamal-pad and under four yamal-pad. The explanation is—The classical definition of yamal-pad is a group of eight numerals Therefore three yamal-pad means a number having twenty four numerals (8 x 3 = 24) and four yamal-pads means a number having thirty two numerals. Here it is mentioned that the number is over three yamal-pad and under four yamal-pad And sankhyat Kotakoti has twenty nine numerals
To further clarify, this has also been stated as—the minimum number of humans is equal to the multiple of fifth square of 2 with its sixth square. As one multiplied by one gives one only, the square of one is one. As there is no variation in the number it is not included in squares The squares start with the number 2 and are as follows
First square is 2 x 2 = 4 Second square is 4 x 4 = 16 Third square is 16 x 16 = 256 Fourth square is 256 x 256 = 65,536
Fifth square is 65,536 x 65,536 = 4,29,49,67,296 (four billion twenty nine crore forty nine lac sixty seven thousand two hundred ninety sıx).
Sixth square is 4,29,49,67,296 x 4,29,49,67,296 1,84,46,74,40,73,70,95,51,616
Multiplying this sixth square with the fifth square gives the minimum number of human bodies Expressed in numbers it is79,22,81,62,51,42,64,33,75,93,54,39,50,336 There are 29 numerals in this number therefore it is stated that the total number of human beings is equal to twenty nine numerals
The third expression of the same idea here is that that number has ninety six chhedanaks (a number which when consecutively divided ninety six times by two, finally gives a whole number, e.g 1) Chhedanak in simple terms means divided into two This can be expressed in mathematical terms as follows
First square (2 x 2 = 4) has two Chhedanaks (4 divided by 2 is 2 and 2 divided by 2 is 1)
