Trayodaśāṃśa (त्रयोदशांश) or Trayodaśa岵 refers to “thirteen-parts� (i.e., one-thirteenth) in Bhinna (“fractions�) and Bhāga (“unit fractions�), which refers to one of the twenty operations (logistics) of ṭīgṇiٲ (“science of calculation which requires the use of writing material—the board�), according to Pṛthudakasvāmī’s commentary on the Brāhmasphuṭasiddhānta by Brahmagupta, a Sanskrit treatise on ancient Indian mathematics (ṇiٲ-śٰ) and astronomy from the 7th century.—In the Śulba, unit fractions are denoted by the use of a cardinal number with the term or ṃśa; thus pañcadaśa-岵 (“fifteen-parts�) is equivalent to one-fifteenth, sapta-岵 (“seven-parts�) is equivalent to one-seventh, and so on [e.g., ٰǻ岹śṃśa].
