Beyond Trillions/ کھربوں کے بعد

 numbers

While working with numbers, a thought just came into my mind that what would we call, when we count above trillion or 10 Kharab in Urdu. For example, In Urdu when we start counting, we come across a scale that is;

Ekai, Dahai, Sainkra, Hazar, Dus Hazar, Lakh, Dus Lakh, Crore, dus Crore, Arab, Dus Arab, Kharab and Dus Kharab or 1 trillion.

Beyond Dus Kharab, 1 trillion, our counting turns into 100 Kharab, 1000 Kharab or 10 trillion, 100 trillion etc. the reason, because we usually don’t know, what 100 Kharab is called.

Luckily, I was able to find  terms used for figure above 10 Kharab (1 trillion) , which sorted as per the scale are as follow;

Urdu (Roman)  اردو

Figure (Power Notation)

English

Ekai اکاءی 1                                           (100) One
Dahai (Dus)   دہاءی 10                                         (101) Ten
Sainkra (Sou)سینکڑہ  100                                       (102) Hundred
Hazar ہزار 1000                                     (103) Thousand
Dus Hazar دس ہزار 10000                                   (104) Ten Thousand
Lakh لاکھ 100000                                 (105) One Hundred Thousand
Dus Lakh دس لاکھ 1000000                               (106) One Million
Crore کروڑ 10000000                             (107) Ten Million
Dus Crore دس کروڑ 100000000                           (108) Hundred Million
Arab ارب 1000000000                         (109) One Billion
Dus Arab دس ارب 10000000000                       (1010) Ten Billion
Kharab کھرب 100000000000                     (1011) Hundred Billion
Dus Kharab دس کھرب 1000000000000                   (1012) One Trillion
Neelum نیلم 10000000000000                 (1013) Ten Trillion

Dus Neelum دس نیلم

100000000000000               (1014) Hundred Trillion

Padam پدم

1000000000000000             (1015) One Quadrillion

Dus Padam دس پدم

10000000000000000           (1016) Ten Quadrillion

Sankh سنکھ

100000000000000000         (1017) One Hundred Quadrillion

Dus Sankh دس سنکھ

1000000000000000000       (1018) One Quintillion

Maha Sankh مہا سنکھ

10000000000000000000     (1019) Ten Quintillion

Dus Maha Sankhدس  مہا سنکھ

100000000000000000000   (1020) Hundred Quintillion

As per Wikipedia source, looking into old Indian numerical, one can find numbers beyond Maha Sankh. Those terms are rarely used in history, however, these exists. The figures beyond Maha Sankh are termed as Ankh/Maha udpadha (One Sextillion), Jald/Padha, Madh (Ten Septillion), Paraadha (One Octillion), Ant, Maha Ant (Ten Nonillion), Shisht (One Decillion), Singhar, Maha Singhar (Ten Undecillion) and Adant Singhar which is equal to One Duodecillian or 1039 or 1,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,000/-
