? Pingala’s indexing process reverses the algorithm he developed for Problem 2. The index of the pattern of all long syllables is one. For any other pattern, start with the first short syllable from the right. The instruction is simply “multiply by two” (in order for the algorithm to work, the starting number must be one). If the next syllable on the left is , again multiply the resulting number by two; otherwise, multiply it by two and subtract one. Repeat this process until the leftmost character is reached. This
