If we insist on using the Indian numbering system, why stop at crore and wind up with clumsy stuff like three lakh crore? There are legit larger number names: arab, kharab, neel, padma, shankh.
1,00,00,00,000 = Arab (instead of one hundred crore)
1,00,00,00,00,000 = Kharab (instead of ten thousand crore)
1,00,00,00,00,00,000 = Neel (instead of ten lakh crore)
1,00,00,00,00,00,00,000 = Padma (instead of ten crore crore)
1,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,000 = Shankh (instead of ten thousand crore crore)
Or to put it another way:
Arab = billion
Kharab = hundred billion
(Ten kharab = trillion)
Neel = ten trillion
Padma = quadrillion
Shankh = hundred quadrillion
