Merci Anurupa d'avoir répondu instantanément à la requête de notre amie
V.S. Rajam
On trouve aussi பாழ் pour dénoter le zéro dans des représentations (de
type mixte) pour des grands nombres, comme par exemple dans l'assertion
ஒருபாழ் பரவையோ ரெட்டைந்தோ ரேழா றிருபதாஞ் சந்தத்தி லெண்
qui explique qu'il existe 1,048,576 (i.e. 2 exponent 20) type de cantam
à 20 éléments
(voir Vīracōḻiyam, édition de 1942)

If I'm not mistaken, you're referring to this part from Prof Gros'
French translation of /Paripatal/ published by the French Institute:
75 Sans souffrir deux ombres, les trois fois sept mondes
C'est Toi qui les protèges sous une ombre unique.
Le néant, le quart, la moitié, un
Deux, trois, quatre, cinq
Six, sept, huit, neuf :
80 Tu as l'excellence dite par les nombres des âges de quatre sortes :
Noir aux yeux rouges, Blanc aux yeux noirs [...]

For whatever its worth … I’m tempted to provide some information from
the Tamil paripāṭal (பரிபாடல் : 3) where I see a mathematical counting
starting from ’sūnya’ / ‘zero’.
This poem, paripāṭal (பரிபாடல் : 3), is dedicated to tirumāl (திருமால்,
Vishnu).
Here, the numbers are counted as: pāḻ (பாழ், meaning ’nothing
solid/concrete/meaningful…’), kāl (கால், one quarter, 1/4), pāku
(பாகு, one half, 1/2), oṉṟu (ஒன்று, one), iraṇṭu (இரண்டு, two), mūṉṟu
(மூன்று, three), nāṉku (நான்கு, four), aiṉtu (ஐந்து, five), āṟu (ஆறு,
six), ēḻu (ஏழு, seven), eṭṭu (எட்டு, eight), toṇṭu (தொண்டு, nine).
பாழ்என, கால்என, பாகுஎன, ஒன்றுஎன,
இரண்டுஎன, மூன்றுஎன, நான்குஎன, ஐந்துஎன,
ஆறுஎன, ஏழுஎன, எட்டுஎன, தொண்டுஎன,
நால்வகைஊழிஎண்நவிற்றும்சிறப்பினை…
Now, I request our dear colleague Jean-Luc Chevillard for a
translation from Gros for this part of the Paripadal poem.
Thanks and regards,

Dr.Dahejia,
With due regards, I mention the following points on the issue of "Sunnya"
1) "Sunnyata" of Mahayana Buddhism is a purely philosophical concept
developed by Asanga and his brother BasuBandhu, embodying the
principal of "ChatushKotiBinirmuktwa"..
2) In the world of Mathematics,probably ,an ancient Indian text
dating back to 5th CE B.C, named as "Lokabibhaga" displayed use of
decimal system ( including aero) .I would be grateful if any further
reference on this text can be furnished.
3) AryaBhatta's name is associated with the concept of zero" with
respect,although there is a view that Maya civilization of Central
America introduced the concept of zero.
Would like to be enlightened more on this.
Regards
Alakendu Das.

Subject: [INDOLOGY] Sunya
Friends:
Is there any evidence that the sunya of mathematics arose out of the
sunyata of Mahayana Buddhism?
Kind regards,
