Commentary.
The problem is like this:
If 16 twos multiplied by each other become 65536, what will 64 twos become by being multiplied by each other.
Here there are two sets of three figures. The first set is called the standard or 'Pramána Ráshi.' In this all the three figures are known. Thus, in the above problem "two" is the Deya Ráshi or the given basis, 16 is the Viralana or index number and 65536 is the 'Phala' or result.
The second set of the desired or Ichchhá Ráshi also consists of the same three number of which the 'Deya' is the same as in the standard or Pramána Ráshi, and the Viralana or index is given, but the third figure, that is, the Phala or result is unknown and required to be obtained. Thus in the above problem, in the desired Ráshi the Deya is 2, index is 64 and the result unknown and to be obtained. The formula, according to the gatha is as below:
216 Pannatthi 16 twos multiplied - 65536

In Pramána Rashi two - देय राशि | In इच्छा राशि two = देय राशि

Thus it would be seen that the result to be obtained-(Phala of Pramána Ráshi) raised to the power of the quotient obtained by dividing Ichchhá-Viralana by Pramána Viralana.

To find out the number of gross-fire-bodied beings by the above formula.
The problem is posited like this.
2 raised to the power of the number of Halvings of the spatial units of the universe gives us the number of spatial units of the uni
