Gupta, R.C., The First Unenumerable Number in Jaina Mathematics, Ganita Bharati 14 (1-4), 1992, 11-24. This number is analysed by him to have been constructed through pits in units, tens and hundreds places. Cf. also TPT, p. 102-103 for an easier analysis by L.C. Jain. 37. Jain, L.C., The Tao of Jaina Sciences, Delhi, 1992, Vol. 1, p. 1-46. Vide also Kapida, H.R., Introduction to Ganita Tilaka of Sripati, Baroda, 1937, p. VLXIX, for information on notational places in GSS, Sthānānga, Jambūdvipa prajñapti, Sürya prajñapti, Anuyogadvāra and Jivasamāsa, etc., as also the Jyotisa karandaka, the Tativartharājavārtika and the Svopajña bhāsya of the Tattvārthadhigamasūtra, wherein the names differ somewhere along with the process of constructions. But in all of them 10 has been used along with 84 for this purpose. It may also be noted that for finding out the value of pi, the number 10 has been used for finding the finer values of pi through difficult processes as may be seen in Gupta, R.C., "Circumference of the Jambūdvipa on Jaina Cosmography", IJHS, 10.1, 1975, 38-44. The originality of manipulation is evident therein. The number 84 is also connected with the generative places
