ղ󲹲 (ववघघ�) refers to the “seventh power� as it represents the abbreviation of 󲹲Բٲ, according to the principles of Bījagaṇita (“algebra� or ‘science of calculation�), according to Gaṇita-śāstra, ancient Indian mathematics and astronomy.—The symbols for powers and roots are abbreviations of Sanskrit words of those imports and are placed after the number affected. Thus the square is represented by va (from varga), cube by gha (from ghana), the fourth power by vava (from vargavarga), the fifth power by 󲹲 (from 󲹲Բٲ), the sixth power by ghava (from ghanavarga), the seventh power by va󲹲 (from 󲹲Բٲ) and so on.
