4. Increase by numerable fold (Sankhyáta Guna Vriddhi) i. e. numerable times added to the former.
5. Increase by innumerable times (Asankhyáta Guna Vriddhi.) (6) Increase by infinite times (Ananta Guna Vriddhi .)
The 6th term-expression { (((((2)*)±)±) 2)= } 2 this is called Ek - atthi. In this series the basic number is 2, and the index is also 2, each term is the square of the index of the immediately preceding term. Therefore it is called Dvirúpávarga Dhárá, because all the figures in it are 2 and the indices grow in a series of two to the power two, etc. The number of twos in any term is one more than the number of the term in the series and the number of the twos in the index is the number of the term itself. Thus the fourth term has 4 twos as its index and 5 twos in all. It is called Pannátthi. It is equal to 65536.
The 5th term in the series has 5 twos in index and 6 in all. It is called Vádála. It is equal to (65536)*.
The 6th term has 6 twos in index and 7 in all. It is called Ekatthi is equal to ( 65536 ) 4. The number of different unrepeated letters (Apunurukta Akshara) and their unrepeated combinations employed in the whole of the scriptures is (Ekatthi) - 1 { (65536 ) - 1 ) -184,467,440,737,095,516,15.
Total of the repeated letters is obviously very much more than the above number.
