Daniel replies:

Tony, haven't you used the WRONG word?  Don't you really mean:  ". . .
when the word *Upanishad* is added [by BdZ]. . ."??

In other words, on p. 14 of Vol. I of the SD (the original edition), the
paragraph (beginning with the words "An Omnipresent, Eternal..." and
ending with the words "unthinkable and unspeakable") has a total word
count of 49 words (if you exclude the initial "(a)").   Right?  As you
say:  "To some the number 49 is significant."  When Boris de Zirkoff
adds the word "Upanishad", he is throwing off the word count, hence
multilating the occult code.  Right?

Should be 49  not 49 + 1 = 50
