But in the 11th anuvaka or 11 th section of Chamakam, the devotee prays for the desired things not specifically but in terms of numbers, first in terms of odd numbers from 1 to 33 and later in multiples of 4 from 4 to 48, as follows:
In the Chamakam, in anuvakas or sections 1 to10, the devotee prays for almost everything needed for human happiness and specifies each item. The Chamakam mentions completely the ideal of human happiness and defines in the highest degree the desires to be fulfilled without delimiting those to be asked for or to be granted. In Atirudram, 11 Maharudrams are recited that is, Rudram is recited 11 4 = 14641 times and Chamakam is recited 11 3 = 1331 times. In Maharudram, 11 Laghurudrams are recited that is, Rudram is recited 11 3 = 1331 times and Chamakam 11 2 = 121 times. In Laghurudram, Rudra Ekadasi is done 11 times, that is, Rudram is recited 11 2 or 121 times and Chamakam is recited 11 times. After Rudram is recited once, one section or anuvaka of Chamakam is recited in order.
In Rudra Ekadasi, Rudram is recited 11 times and Chamakam is recited once. But on special occasions, the number of times the recitation is done is increased. In the Rudram part, the devotee pays repeated obeisance to Lord Siva and prays for his blessings for human well being. This is called the daily nyasam or mode of worship. Worshippers of Lord Siva recite Rudram with 11 sections followed by Chamakam with 11 sections as a routine prayer every day. This is what we find particularly in the Hindu way of life or the Hindu religion. Hence, it is no wonder that it has come to occupy an important place in religious rituals also. Mathematics is a part of our daily life in several ways.
