Yatha shikha mayuranam naganam manayo yatha Tadvad vedangshastranam ganitam moordhani sthitam.
Meaning:
—(Yajush jyotisham) The shloka says that just as the crest of the peacock and the gem of the cobra, stays right at the top, similarly mathematics is established right at the topmost position in the Vedas and the shastras.
In the mantra for peace, in the Eishavasyo-panishad, it is said
- Aum poornamadah poornamidam poornat poornamudchyate
Poornasya poornamadaya poornamevavashishyate
This mantra is not just a spiritual description. Instead, it has an extremely important mathematical sign hidden in it. This became the base or the foundation of all mathematics. The mantra says: this is complete, that is complete. A whole is born out of a whole, yet it is a whole and, even in the end, when the whole is merged within the whole, it still remains a whole. The characteristic of a whole is present in zero and in the infinite too. If you add or subtract a zero to or from a zero, what remains is a zero only. The same is the case with the infinite.
