BHĀSKARA I AND KUṬṬAKA OPERATIONS 235
Writing down the quotients one below the other as pres-
cribed in the rule, we get the chain
10766
15
2
7
22
2
(mati) 27
1
Reducing the chain, we successively get
10766 10766 10766 10766 10766 10766 3108044439
(multiplier)
15 15 15 15 15 288689 288689
(quotient)
2 2 2 2 18665 18665
7 7 7 8714 8714
22 22 1237 1237
2 55 55
(mati)
27 27
1
(it would be seen in this reduction of chain that mati
or 27 × 2 plus 1 is 55; 55 × 22 plus 27 is 1237; 1237 × 7
plus 55 is 8714; 8714 × 2 plus 1237 is 18665; 18665 × 15
plus 8714 is 288689; and finally 288689 × 10766 plus
18665 is 3108044439 which is the multiplier).
Dividing 3108044439 by 394479375, and 288689 by 36641,
we obtain 346688814 and 32202 respectively as remainders, (This
division is performed only when the multiplier and quotient are
greater than the divisor and dividend respectively). These are
the minimum values of x and y satisfying the above equation.
Therefore, the required ahargaṇa = 346688814. and the
revolutions performed by Saturn = 32202.
To obtain the ahargaṇa and the revolutions of Mars, one
has to solve the equation :
191402 z — 40
───────────── = w
