ज्योतिरान्तरमासाद्य छिन्नग्रन्थिपरिग्रहः ।
परेण ज्योतिषा चैक्यं छित्त्वा ग्रन्थीन् प्रपद्यते ॥ इति ।"
Wait! In Harivritti, the standard reading is:
"परेण ज्योतिषा चैक्यं छित्त्वा ग्रन्थीन् प्रपद्यते ॥"
Now look at what this book printed:
It printed: "परेण ज्योति" then:
Wait! Could it be "ज्योतिषैकत्वं" or "ज्योतिपैकत्वं"?
Wait, "ज्योतिषा चैक्यं" -> 7 syllables?
ज्यो-ति-षा (3) चै-क्यं (2) = 5. प-रे-ण (3) -> 3+5 = 8.
Here it is: ज्यो-ति- (2) ... wait!
If the typesetter had before them "ज्योतिषैकत्वं", wait:
ज्यो (1) ति (2) षै (3) क (4) त्वं (5) = 5!
Wait, if it was "ज्योतिपैकत्वं", why would anyone write that? "ज्योतिषा एकत्वं" -> misread as "ज्योतिषैकत्वं", and typesetter used 'प' instead of 'ष'!
Wait, does it look like 'षै' or 'पै'?
In Devanagari, 'ष' is literally 'प' with a diagonal slash. Often the diagonal slash in small fonts gets dropped or doesn't print
