Narayana Pandita (mathematician)

"I adore that Brahman, also that science of calculation with the unknown, which is the one invisible root-cause of the visible and multiple-qualified universe, also of multitudes of rules of the science of calculation with the known."

"As out of Him is derived this entire universe, visible and endless, so out of algebra follows the whole of arithmetic with its endless varieties (of rules). Therefore, I always make obeisance to Shiva and also to (avyakta) ganita (algebra)."
