The third column of the brief statement of 21 kinds of numbers shows that really there are two unknown :-D. and M. Let us see what they are.
D, or Jaghanya Parítá Asamáhyata. To find D. i. e., Jaghanya Parítá Asamkhyáta. Let there be four pits each of 1 lac Yojanas in diameter, and
1000 Yojanas deep and called : Anavasthá .... (d') Shaláká
... (BI) Pratishaláká
.. (Y ) Mahashaláká
... (X) Fill d' with round rape-seeds; overfill it from its mouth surface
in a regular conical form, the apex of which is one rape seed; as
The number of seeds in the pit is 197912092999)

The number in the cone above 179920084545163

246 figs.
636363636363636-4 (16 thirty sixes). The total seeds are 1997112938 45 1316363636363636363) 46
636363636363636 4 figs.
Say Z For this filling of di, drop one seed in B1
Then take up the seeds from b , and drop one seed on each of the continents and Oceans beginning with Jambúdvípa. Where the last seed is dropped, it would be an Ocean, (disregard the 411 seed, which will not be in the Cone). Now dig a pit of the diameter of this Ocean, of the same depth, in e., 1000 Yojanas, Call it d2: and fill it in with rape seeds like a topping Cone, as di was filled in. Then drop another rape seed in B for the filling of do.
Then take up the seeds from de and drop one each on the Continents and Oceans beginning with the Continent next to the Ocean where the last seed from di was dropped, whereever in a continent or Ocean the last seed of d? is dropped, take the diameter of that as the diameter of the next pit di which is also 1000 Yoianas deep. Fill it up conically liked and d' . For the filling of ds. drop a third rape seed into B'.
Repeat till Bi is filled in the usual top Conical form. The number of seeds in B1 is =Z; and much larger in each of the pits di to da successively, because their diameters are much larger at each step.
