कलानां चतुःषष्टित्वात्तासां च सम्प्रयोगाङ्गभूतत्वात् कलासमूहो वा चतुःषष्टिरिति । ऋचां दशतयीनां च संज्ञितत्वात् । इहापि तदर्थसम्बन्धनात् । पञ्चालसम्बन्धाच्च बह्वृचैरेषा पूजार्थं संज्ञा प्रवर्तिता इत्येके ॥ ३ ॥

sanskrit

The arts number sixty-four, and are considered as forming part of the practice of love. As a body, they are mentioned as the "sixty-four." The Rig Veda, comprising ten chapters, is mentioned as "the ten." Such an interpretation could also be valid in this case. The disciples of Babhru, who came from Panchala country, used this number out of respect.
