be astounded by the power of Sanskrit in expressing mathematical formula.
One simple Sanskrit poem to learn and you know pie up to 32 decimal places..
gopi bhaagya madhuvrata srngiso dadhi sandhiga While this verse is a type of petition to Krishn, when learning it one can also learn the value of pi/10 (ie the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter divided by 10) to 32 decimal places.

By a particular choice of consonants and vowels one can compose a poetic hymn with double or triple meanings. Here is an actual Sootra of spiritual content, as well as secular mathematical significance. The Sanskrit consonants At the same time,
by application of the consonant code given above, this verse directly yields
