116 KĀVYAPRAKĀŚA तेषां चान्योन्ययोजने ॥ ४३ ॥ संकरेण त्रिरूपेण संसृष्ट्या चैकरूपया । न केवलं शुद्धा एवैकपञ्चाशद्भेदा भवन्ति । यावत्तेषां स्वप्रभेदैरेकपञ्चाशता संशयास्पदत्वेनानुग्राहकतयैकव्यञ्जकानु- प्रवेशेन चेति त्रिविधेन संकरेण परस्परनिरपेक्षरूपयैकप्रकारया संसृष्ट्या चेति चतुर्भिर्गुणने । वेदखाब्धिवियच्चन्द्राः शुद्धभेदैः सह शरेषुयुगखेन्दवः ॥ ४४ ॥ By the mutual combination of these, in the three forms of commixture and one form of uniform conjunction, they come to the number made up of (a) the Vedas (4), (b) the sky (0), (c) the oceans (4). (d) the sky (0) and the moon (1) [i. e. 10404]. There are not only the 51 simple varieties ; each of these 51 has its own 51 varieties, and each of these combines with the other in three ways (in which there is mutual dependency)—viz. (1) where it is doubtful which one is the predominant factor, (2) where one dis- tinctly helps the other (and is hence the predominant fac- tor, and (3) where both form part of a single suggestive factor—and also in one another way (in which both are independent of each other) ; and thus by multiplying by 4 the fifty-one times fifty-one varieties) the number be- comes 10404. These mixed varieties along with the (51) pure varie- ties make the number— made up of—(a) arrows (5), (b) arrows (5), (c) age-cycles (4), (d) sky (0) and (e) the Moon (1)—i. e. 10455.
