The Ga\u1E47itatilaka and its Commentary: Two Medieval Sanskrit Mathematical Texts presents the first English annotated translation and analysis of the Ga\u1E47itatilaka by \u015Ar\u012Bpati and its Sanskrit commentary by the Jaina monk Si\u1E43hatilakas\u016Bri (13th century CE). Si\u1E43hatilakas\u016Bri\u2019s commentary upon the Ga\u1E47itatilaka is a key text for the study of Sanskrit mathematical jargon and a precious source of information on mathematical practices of medieval India; this is, in fact, the first known Sanskrit mathematical commentary written by a Jaina monk, about whom we have substantial information, to survive to the present day.
