In marking numbers by this system units are mentioned first and then the higher orders; *e. g.* Ṛishināgakhendusaṃvatsara is year 1087; guṇaçāstrakhendugaṇitasamva°= 1063; dahanādrikhendugaṇitasamva°=1073. It appears, however, that occasionally in recent inscriptions the words are put in the same order as the figures are written.
