"The science of numbers is used in all transactions whether earthly or Vedic, meditation or business, in the science of love, in the art of cooking, in economics and statecraft, in music and medicine, in theatre, architecture and all such things. (9-10) In prosody, in poetics and poetry, in logic, grammar and such like, in the presentation of the qualities of various arts, mathematics is held in esteem. For the movements of the sun and stars, for eclipses and planetary motion, for the three significant questions and the course of the moon, for all these connections it is used (11-12). The number, diameter and perimeter of islands, of oceans and mountains, for the dimensions of rows of buildings of the earth’s inhabitants, of the space between the worlds, of the world of light, for the worlds of devas, for the dimensions of the dwellers in hell; for measurements of all sort and voluminous evidence, all these are made out by means of computation (13- 14). The organization of living beings, the length of their lives, their eight attributes and other similar things, their travel and cohabitation and such other things, all depend on mathematics. What more can be said? All there is in the three worlds, moving or unmoving, all that cannot be described without mathematics (15-16)."
