Some Hindu uses of Numbers

In Ancient India, in the Sanskrit language, certain words were used as equivalent to the low numbers. For One (1), they said Moon or Earth. For Two (2), they used many words of things in pairs such as the eyes, wings or arms. For Three (3), they used Rama, fire or guna, for they knew of 3 Ramas, 3 kinds of fire and 3 Gunas or qualities. For Four (4), they used Veda, age or ocean. For Six (6), they used Seasons. For Seven (7), they used Sage or vowel. For Twelve (12), they said Sun or Zodiac and for Twenty (20), they used nails, meaning those of hands and feet. Edward B. Tylor.
