Factoid:
The reason the number 108 recurs in Hinduism and Buddhism is that as the third hyperfactorial it was esoteric knowledge discoverable by sacred geometers.
(3³×2²×1¹ = 27×4×1 = 108)
- vignesh_m 8y agoLol. Its just because its a highly divisible number. Saying basic multiplication is "esoteric" shows how little you expect of ancient civilisations. They estimate the circumference of the fuckin earth and you say its "esoteric" to think 108 is holy.
- jobigoud 8y agoI would say that considering a number as "holy" is esotric by definition.
