The article describes the summation of arithmetical and geometrical progressions and the classification of fractions (with the same operations on these) in Mahávíra's 9th-century Ganitâsâra- saṅgraha. Some comparisons with modern formulae are made; the relations to other classical Indian mathematical authors are dealt with through generic quotations from the secondary literature. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0977.00019].
