457 Eight types of āvarta are distinguished (see S.S. Misra, 1982: 188–189); their total number is, as in Jayadatta's treatise, ninety-six; twenty among these are said to be auspicious. The āvarta called rocamāna is also mentioned. The edition adds a number of verses (from some other source) on the same subject.
