Rekhāgaṇita
Rekhāgaṇita · rekhā-gaṇita, “the reckoning of lines”
The Rekhāgaṇita is a work of twenty-one chapters. The Pratisarga Parva of the Bhavishya Purāṇa tells, in Sūta’s account, that after Bhagavān Jagannātha withdrew, Kali prayed to Bali, and Bali, grieved, called the daitya Maya and told him to help the mlecchapati Sukandara.
The dānava Maya, skilled in jyotir-vidyā, came to the karmabhūmi with a hundred daityas. He taught the mleccha people the Rekhāgaṇita of twenty-one chapters, together with jyotir-gaṇita. Becoming masters of jyotir-vidyā, they had yantras made in all seven purīs.
