What are large numbers after crores called?

Recently my friend had asked me about how the large numbers are called in India? I was stupefied after mentioning Lakhs and Crores. Thanks to google, I could find names of the large numbers after crores. Below is the table of how large numbers are called in the Indian Numbering System.

Number	Figure	Indian Name	American Name
105	1,00,000	Lakh	One hundred thousand
107	1,00,00,000	Crore	Ten million
109	1,00,00,00,000	Arawb	One billion
1011	1,00,00,00,00,000	Kharawb	One hundred billion
1013	1,00,00,00,00,00,000	Neel	Ten trillion
1015	1,00,00,00,00,00,00,000	Padma	One quadrillion
1017	1,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,000	Shankh	One hundred quadrillion
1019	1,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,000	Mahashankh	Ten quintillion

At present, the Indian numbering system is used  in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Myanmar (Burma) and unlike American and European Numbering system, which is based on grouping by three decimal places, Indian Numerical system is based on grouping by two decimal places.
