In Hinduism
Ganitashastra (Mathematics and Algebra)
: archive.org: Hindu MathematicsղԲٲ (वर्गघनघा�) or “product of cube and square� refers to the “fifth power�, according to the principles of Bījagaṇita (“algebra� or ‘science of calculation�), according to Gaṇita-śāstra, ancient Indian mathematics and astronomy.—The oldest Hindu terms for the power of a quantity, known or unknown, are found in the Uttarādhyayana-sūtra (c. 300 B.C. or earlier). In it the second power is called varga (square), the third power ghana (cube), the fourth power vargavarga (square-square), the sixth power ghanavarga (cube-square), and the twelfth power ghanavargavarga (cube-square-square), using the multiplicative instead of the additive principle. In this work we do not find any method for indicating odd powers higher than the third. In later times, the fifth power is called Բٲ (product of cube and square, ٲ=product), the seventh power vargaԲٲ (product of square-square and cube) and so on.

Ganita (गणित) or Ganitashastra refers to the ancient Indian science of mathematics, algebra, number theory, arithmetic, etc. Closely allied with astronomy, both were commonly taught and studied in universities, even since the 1st millennium BCE. Ganita-shastra also includes ritualistic math-books such as the Shulba-sutras.
