This is one of the six commentaries of Lฤซlฤvatฤซ in Malayalam according to K V Sarma. It contains a problem on Uruแธท Paliลa, or what the text later explains as 'paliลakku paliลa'. The Malayalam term 'paliลa' translate as interest and 'paliลakku paliลa' translates to interest on interest [see r. 106 - r.109]. The text has a Sanskrit verse on how to solve the problem and gives detailed description in Malayalam. Compound interest is usually not found in any of the major texts such as Lฤซlฤvatฤซ, Pฤแนญฤซgaแนitam, Kaแนakkatikฤram, Ganitasarasangraham or in any Sanskrit Commentaries of Lilavati.
