Numbers such as three, four, seven, nine, twelwe and forty which have been sacrified by the influence of ancient Turkısh beliefs have an important position in our culture and literature. Apart from these sacred numbers, number ten which is less known but has a lot of holiness, has been seen that it has not drawn much attention and been examined at research. Number ten has a deep meaning and mystery in terms of its reference to perfection and expressing the steps of human maturing process. In number systematic by Ahmed Yesevî which he created with four gates and forty position, number ten represents human maturing process and perfection line to become a perfect human. At this mysterious line, man complete his maturing process by passing through four gates and ten positions inside these four gates. Âşık Paşa who one of the most significant representative from Anatolia of Ahmed Yesevî and Yeseviyye’s way, puts number ten forward and builds his work Garib-nâme on it from beginning to end. This systematic structure seen in Garib-nâme starts with units and goes on until decimals. Aspirant having passed the positions at this stage, reaches to “Ademilik” by completing maturing process that is necessary for perfection. Considering the number structures he used, it has been seen that decimal number system of Ahmed Yesevî affected Âşık Paşa profoundly. In this paper, reflections of decimal number system, based on Ahmed Yesevi’s ten ways, ten products and four gates-forty positions, on number ten which has an important part in Garib-nâme by Âşık Paşa and on perfect human type have been revealed. },author={Kadir GÜLER-Zafer TINGIROĞLU},year={2019},journal={Turkish Studies - Language and Literature}}
