TheTriśatībhāṣyais an anonymous commentary on Śrīdhara’sTriśatī. ‘Chain-reduction’ (vallīsavarṇana) is a rule for unifying quantities expressed in several units into the highest one, but the usage of the rule in theTriśatībhāṣyais slightly different. The present paper tries to explain, by comparison with the procedures illustrated in other arithmetic texts, why the commentator applies the ‘chain-reduction’ in an irregular way.
