Microbes -The building blocks of universe- Vedic Numbers

Yajurved17.2 Numbers Nomenclature ( Coming just after the first Yajurved Mantra that described soil formation the microbes- Veda is indicating the vast numbers of microbes the building blocks of the universe)

यजु17।2
इमा मे ऽअग्न ऽइष्टका धेनव: सन्त्वेका च दशच दश च शतं च शतं च सहस्रं च सहस्रं चायुतं चायुतं च नियुतं च नियुतं च प्रयुतं चार्बुदं च न्यर्बुदं च समुद्रश्च मध्यं चान्तश्च परार्द्धश्चैता मेऽ अग्नऽ इष्टका धेनव:सन्त्वमुत्रामुष्मिल्लोके।।यजु ।।17।2
अग्ने इमा: इष्टका: मे धेनव: सन्तु ----The above building blocks may be like cows to me
सन्त्वेका च दश like one to ten च दश ten tens=100 शतं च शतं च सहस्रं ie=10,000=104 ten thousands( here it may kindly be noted that according to this Yajurved mantra Sahasra is ten thousand and not one thousand as normally taken in popular arithmetic)च सहस्रं च सहस्रं चायुतं=108 चायुतंच नियुतं= 1016च नियुतं च प्रयुतं=1032चार्बुदÆù = 1064 च न्यर्बुदं =10128 च समुद्रश्च=10256 मध्यं being the mid ocean चान्तश्च=10512 परार्ध्द्श्चैता to outer space.
ऎता: इष्ट: अमुत्र च अमुश्मिन्नलोके मे धेनव:सन्तु So many of these building blocks from this world and outer space, may be like cows to fulfill my needs
Microbiology is indeed a very new science. According to ASM American Society of Microbiology in Frontiers of microbiology BSCS2006"The sheer number of microbes on earth is staggering. It has been estimated that we share the planet with 5X10 31 microbes, which weigh more than 50 million quadrillion tons, constituting nearly 90% of earth's mass.
The various properties of maruts ie being live organisms, having many
different colours, shapes, sizes, being sensitive to optics, sonic and electromagnetic fields, capable of gene transfer, and voracious eaters, growing in numbers exponentially, being probiotic and pathological ie disease bearing and also antibiotic in character are properties associated with maruts in vedas.The large numbers of these ishtakas that Vedas are saying could be related to the microbes in the entire universes.
This second mantra is the key to the suggestion that maruts are indeed related to microorganisms of all kinds, which the modern science is yet in the process of identifying and studying.
Note. The Vedic system of numbers is a very clear strategy to use squares after ten, ten tens ie hundred, hundred hundreds ie Sahasra again Sahasra Sahasras ie squared and then the resulting number is called AYUTAM. An Ayuta is a square and so on. Thus the Vedic system deals with numbers far beyond the concepts of modern number systems.
