If the balls are counted diagonally the uppermost row leaves only one ball and so many \*nothings\*. At the end there is again an extra \*nothing\*, which is similar to the dead value of the bottom row. But is it so dead? This was the main question. It remained a riddle for a long time. - [Previous: c3.19](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.dani-1963.c3.19) - [Next: c3.21](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.dani-1963.c3.21) - [Up: c3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.dani-1963.c3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.dani-1963.c3.20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.dani-1963.c3.20) · Pramāṇa
