Many of the verses of SŚŚ 13 appear as sūtras in Śrīpati's Gaṇitatilaka³⁰ to which many examples (some taken from Śrīdhara) have been added. Unfortunately, however, the Gaṇitatilaka does not survive in its entirety. After a paribhāṣā modelled on Mahāvīra's, it proceeds in the normal order, though inserting the mathematics of zero in verse 45, in the middle of its treatment of fractions; this mathematics of zero differs from that in SŚŚ 14, 6. The text breaks off in the middle of the miśrakavyavahāra. A commentary on the Gaṇitatilaka was written by Siṃhatilaka Sūri, the pupil of Vibudhacandra; this Siṃhatilaka wrote a vṛtti on the Bhuvanadīpaka of Padmaprabha Sūri at Vijāpura in 1269. - [Previous: c5.s1.37](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c5.s1.37) - [Next: c5.s1.39](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c5.s1.39) - [Up: c5.s1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c5.s1) ## Linked texts (3) - [Gaṇitatilaka](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.ganita.patibija.ganitatilaka) — Śrīpati, Sanskrit - [Bhuvanadīpaka (Tājakācārya)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.prasna.jaina.bhuvanadipaka) — Tājakācārya, Sanskrit - [Siddhāntaśiromaṇi](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.siddhanta.early.siddhantasiromani) — Bhāskara II, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c5.s1.38](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.science.pingree-1981.c5.s1.38) · Pramāṇa
