करणकुतूहलम् (भास्कराचार्य द्वितीय - सुमेध हिन्दी व्याख्या सहित पञ्चाङ्ग एवं ग्रह-गणित)

crosses! That is identical to ४!
Wait, why would it be १४९?
Because the typesetter read नवाक्षेन्दवः:
नव = 9
अक्ष = 5? Wait, अक्ष = 4?
Wait! In Surya Siddhanta / Indian astronomy:
Does अक्ष = 4 or 5?
अक्ष = 5 (sense organs, indriya).
VEDAS = 4.
Wait, sometimes अक्ष = 5. But why would the typesetter print १४९?
Wait, if अक्ष = 4 (dice? अक्ष in gambling has 4 sides? No, अक्ष can mean 4? Or 5?), then 1, 4, 9 = 149!
Wait, look at the print: it definitely says १४९ or १५९?
Let's look at ४ in line 15: ४।२२।१९. Look at the ४: it has the rounded body.
Now look at the digit in line 22: it is ४! १४९. The typesetter literally composed १४९!
Wait, or is it १५९? Look at ५ in line 8: ५ । ३३. The ५ has a sharp hook at the top, curves around like an English 'S' or Devanagari 5.
The digit in line 22 does NOT look like `५
