Koṭi (कोटि) refers to the “upright”, according to verse 20 of the Lagnaprakaraṇa (lit. “treatise for the computation of the ascendant), an astronomical work in eight chapters dealing with the determination of the ascendant (udayalagna or orient ecliptic point).—Accordingly, “The quotient of either the Rsine [of the Sun’s longitude] multiplied by [the Rsine of] the last (maximum) declination, or [the Rsine of] the declination corresponding to the desired longitude multiplied by the radius, divided by the Rcosine of the latitude, is the Rsine of the Sun’s amplitude. That [Rsine of the Sun’s amplitude] is the hypotenuse. [The Rsine of] the declination is the upright (koṭi) here, and indeed the earth-sine is the lateral”.

1) Koṭi (कोटि) refers to “end”, “extremity”, “limit”, “alternative”, and is mentioned in the Naiṣadha-carita 13.36. Here koṭi means “alternative”. Cf. the word bhūtakoṭi ,“the true limit or alternative” used to described the Ultimate Reality of the Mādhyamikas (Bodhicaryāvatārapañjikā, p. 354).

General definition (in Buddhism)

Source: Wisdom Library: Buddhism

Koṭi (कोटि, “ten-million”) is the eighth of sixty digits (decimal place) in an special enumeration system mentioned by Vasubandhu in his Abhidharmakośa (“treasury of knowledge”). The explanations of the measure of years, eons, and so forth must be comprehended through calculation based on a numerical system. Enumeration begins from one and increases by a factor of ten for each shift in decimal place. The sixtieth number in this series is called “countless”.

Among these decimal positions (e.g., koṭi, “ten-million”), the first nine positions from one to one hundred million are called ‘single set enumeration’. From a billion up to, but not including countless is “the enumeration of the great companion” and is called the ‘recurring enumeration’.
