Specifically, I will argue that the authors' interest in justification or proof is integrative, rather than hierarchical or cumulative. In other words, the purpose of proofs in the <em>Kriyākramakarī</em> is to connect various different aspects of mathematics, rather than just establish results by means of previously known results.     </p>}, journal={History of Science in South Asia}, author={Wagner, Roy}, year={2018}, month={Apr.}, pages={84–126} }
