SrI:

My humble pranams.

I have a small doubt.

I have read your book on Purusha sookhtham and I understand the
meaning of trissapta. It is three times seven.

But in the context below

'dasha sapta cha varSHANI'
why 'cha'?

>From my very little knowledge of sanskrit, I see it as
dasha: saptha: cha, meaning ten and seven.
What does ten and seven imply?
Ten plus seven or ten times seven?

I see a parallel to this Thiruchanda viruttham pasurams, where the
addition is indicated by 'um' (ummai-th-thogai, the Tamil equivalent
of sanskrit samaasam) and an absence of 'um' (cha) indicates
multiplication.

Kindly correct me and clarify.

With humble pranams,
jayasree.
