REFERENCES AND NOTES
1. In the Jaina works, the concept of number arose in connection with measurement
(māna). One of the subdivisions of measurement is counting (ganitamāna). Jainas have divided counting in three classes viz. samkhyāta (countable or numerable),
asankhyāta (countless or innumerable) and ananta (infinity). 2. Tiloyapannatti (TP] Part-3 ed. with Aryikā Visuddhamati's Hindi commentary by
