First print of SD has the figure "60" 'missing' on page sixty.

"These "Eternities" belong to the most secret calculations, in which, in
order to arrive at the true total, every figure must be 7x (7 to the
power of x); x varying according to the nature of the cycle in the
subjective or real world; and every figure or number relating to, or
representing all the different cycles from the greatest to the smallest
- in the objective or unreal world - must necessarily be multiples of
seven. The key to this cannot be given, for herein lies the mystery of
esoteric calculations, and for the purposes of ordinary calculation it
has no sense." (SD, I, 36). NB: 36 x 10 = 360; 3 + 6 + 0 = 9 etc..

Further on we find:-

"The Three, the One, the Four, the One, the Five" (in their totality -
twice seven) represent 31415 - the numerical hierarchy of the
Dhyan-Chohans of various orders, and of the inner or circumscribed
world.  When placed on the boundary of the great circle of "Pass Not"
(see Stanza V), called also the Dhyanipasa, the "rope of the Angels,"
the "rope" that hedges off the phenominal from the noumenal Kosmos, (not
falling within the range of our present objective consciousness); this
number, when not enlarged by permutation and expansion, is ever 31415
anagramatically and Kabalistically, being both the number of the circle
and the mystic Svastica, the twice seven once more; for separately, one
figure after another, whether crossways, from right or from left, they
will always vield fourteen.  Mathematecally they represent the
well-known calculation, namely, that the ratio of the diameter to then
circumference of a circle is as 1 to 3.1415, or the value of the [symbol
of pi here] (pi), as this ratio is called - the symbol [symbol of pi
here] being always used in mathematical forulae to express it.  This set
of figures must have the same meaning, since the 1:314,159, and then
again 1:3:1,415,927 are worked out in the secret calculations to express
the various cycles and ages of the "first born," or 311,040,000,000,000
with fractions, and yield the same 13,415 by a process we are not
concerned with at present." (SD, I, 90/91).

3 x 1 x 4 x 1 x 5 = 60.

SD, II, 621/622 states (NB: text in square brackets are italics in
original and some words are larger):-

"THE CIRCLE IS NOT THE "ONE" BUT THE ALL.
IN THE HIGHER [heaven] THE IMPENETRABLE RAJAH ["ad bhutam," see
Atharva-Veda" X., 105], IT [the Circle] BECOMES ONE, BECAUSE [it is] THE
INDIVISIBLE, AND THERE CAN BE NO TAU IN IT.
IN THE SECOND [of the three "Rajamsi" (triteye), or the three "Worlds"]
THE ONE BECOMES TWO [male and female]; AND THREE [add the Son or logos];
AND THE SACRED FOUR ["tetractis", or the "Tetragrammaton."]
IN THE THIRD [the lower world or our earth] THE NUMBER BECOMES FOUR, AND
THREE, AND TWO.  TAKE THE FIRST TWO, AND THOU WILT OBTAIN SEVEN, THE
SACRED NUMBER OF LIFE; BLEND [the latter] WITH THE MIDDLE RAJAH, AND
THOU WILT HAVE NINE, THE SACRED NUMBER OF BEING AND BECOMING".*

No wonder we have problems getting Occultism to "add up"!:-)
