This term appears to be the oldest as it occurs in Vedic literature. The terms hanana, vadha, °ìá¹£a²â²¹, etc. which mean “killingâ€� or “destroyingâ€� have been also used for multiplication. These terms [e.g., °ìá¹£a²â²¹] came into use after the invention of the new method of multiplication with the decimal place-value numerals; for in the new method the figures of the multiplicand were successively rubbed out (destroyed) and in their places were written the figures of the product. Synonyms of hanana (killing) have been used by Ä€ryabhaá¹­a I (499), Brahmagupta (628), ÅšrÄ«dhara (c. 750) and later writers.

Any particular operation intended is ordinarily indicated by placing the tachygraphic abbreviation, the initial syllable of a Sanskrit word of that import, after, occasionally before, the quantity affected. Thus the operation of addition is indicated by yu (an abbreviation from yuta, meaning added), subtraction by + which is very probably from °ìá¹£a (abbreviated from °ìá¹£a²â²¹, diminished), multiplication by gu (from gum or ²µ³Üṇi³Ù²¹, multiplied) and division by ²ú³óÄå (from ²ú³óÄåga or ²ú³óÄåjita, divided).
