Hi Mohit-

You should use the mul(s1,s2) Jython method to do the multiplication
which should handle special cases (e.g. 2D grid X slice of 3D grid).

P.S. I will have limited e-mail contact shortly for the next week,
so if you have other questions on this regard, they may not get answered
right away.
