Ganitashastra (Mathematics and Algebra)

[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Bhagapavaha in Ganitashastra glossary
: archive.org: Hindu Mathematics

岵貹 (भागापवाह) refers to one of the six classes (پ) of combinations of Bhinna (“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.—Hindu treatises contain special rules for the reduction of classes [of numbers] (پ) to proper fractions (bhinna). Śrīdhara and Mahāvīra each enumerate six پs [e.g., 岵貹], while Brahmagupta gives only five and Bhāskara II following Skandasena reduces the number to four. The need for the division of fractions into classes arose out of the lack of proper symbolism to indicate mathematical operations.

The rule for 岵貹 is given in all the works on ṭīgṇiٲ. It is the same as that for 岵ԳܲԻ, except that “addition� or “increase� is replaced by “subtraction� or “decrease� in the enunciation of the rule for 岵貹.
