N.B.—Rank A is usually given in the order 4, 3, 7, 5, 9; the point being that 4 and 3 make 7, and 4 and 5 make 9 (9 is never treated as 3 × 3). 6, 8, and 10 are obviously omitted as being multiples of three numbers which are already there, and 9 is, as we saw, not considered to be a multiple. Those in heavy type are in common use. The names refer to the whole rank (Eka, for instance, to the whole of rank A, Tripuṭa to D, &c.), but are confined in practice to those files to which they are here assigned.
