In the AryabhaTIya - bhAshhya of bhAskara the First, there are
example problems given which have many compounds with several numerals.Here
are two:
uddeshakaH
trichatushhkabhujAkoTyoH shhaDashhTasaN^khyAnayostayoshchApi
dvAdashakanavakayoshcha krameNa karNA vinirdeshyAH (under gaNita - pAda
verse 16)
Give out the hypotenuses (for three right - angled triangles) where
the bases and the uprights are 3 and 4, 6 and 8, and 12 and 9 (units)
respectively.( The so - called Pythagorean Theorem)
uddeshakaH
navanavayamarAmANAmashhTAbhiH sharayamAMshahInAnAm
khakharasavR^indasya cha me vyAsAvAchaxva vigaNayya (under gaNita - pAda
verse 11)
Calculate and tell me the diameters of the circles whose peripheries
are 3299 minus 8/25 and 21,600, respectively.( Diameter of a circle from the
circumference)
The question is, are these compounds to be regarded as dvigu - samAsas or
samAhAra dvandvas?
