<strong>Abstract </strong>Vedic Mathematics is mainly based on sixteen word formulae which are known as sutras and their thirteen corollaries which are known as sub Sutras. All these sutras and their corollaries are in Sanskrit and claimed to be discovered from Vedas by Sri Bharti Krishna Tirtha in early twentieth century. The Mathematical calculations and operations based on these Vedic mathematical sutras and sub sutras are claimed to have ability to solve a variety of mathematical problems. In this paper, we have considered some algebraic problems and apply Vedic mathematical sutras to solve them.

Abstract:
"Vedic mathematics" is the ancient methodology of mathematics which has a unique technique of calculations based on 16 "sutras" (formulae). A Vedic squarer design (ASIC) using such ancient mathematics is presented in this paper. By employing the Vedic mathematics, an (N × N) bit squarer implementation was transformed into just one small squarer (bit length ≪ N) and one adder which reduces the handling of the partial products significantly, owing to high speed operation. Propagation delay and dynamic power consumption of a squarer were minimized significantly through the reduction of partial products. The functionality of these circuits was checked and performance parameters like propagation delay and dynamic power consumption were calculated by spice spectre using 90-nm CMOS technology. The propagation delay of the proposed 64-bit squarer was ~ 16 ns and consumed ~ 6.79 mW power for a layout area of ~ 5.39 mm2. By combining Boolean logic with ancient Vedic mathematics, substantial amount of partial products were eliminated that resulted in ~ 12% speed improvement (propagation delay) and ~ 22% reduction in power compared with the mostly used Vedic multiplier (Nikhilam Navatascaramam Dasatah) architecture.

Abstract:
Since being brought to light in 1853 by Adalbert Kuhn, the fact that the Homeric expression κλέος ἄφθιτον has an exact parallel in the Veda has played an extremely important role in formulating the hypothesis that Greek epic poetry is of Indo-European origin. Yet only with Milman Parry's analysis of the formulaic character of Homeric composition did it become possible to test the antiquity of κλέος ἄφθιτον on the internal grounds of Homeric diction.It is generally agreed that the conservative character of oral composition entails a high degree of correlation between the antiquity of a Homeric expression and its formulaic character. In other words, although not all Homeric formulae are necessarily of ancient origin, it is nevertheless in the formulaic stock of the epic diction that archaic and backward-looking expressions should be sought. Consequently, demonstration that κλέος ἄφθιτον (as well as other Homeric expressions with Vedic cognates) is a Homeric formula would constitute valuable evidence for its origin in Indo-European heroic poetry. Strangely enough, however, as Parry's analysis won the recognition of scholars, κλέος ἄφθιτον was identified as a Homeric formula simply because of its agreement with the Vedic śráva(s) ákṣitam. Yet examination of κλέος ἄφθιτον from the internal standpoint of the Greek epic casts serious doubts on the formulaic and traditional character of this Homeric expression.

Abstract The following paper is concerned with a comparison between the Vedic hymn RV VII 55 and the Vīdēvdād chapter XVIII 16. It is argued that little lullaby-themes, aimed at quieting men as well as animals, have come to be included into sacral and religious texts from popular sources (e.g. magical charms to be performed on sleepless babies), revealing Proto-Indo-European formulae and stylistic patterns that can be reconstructed. A Hittite text and some fragments of Greek poems by Simonides and Alcman are also included in the list of the passages to be compared.

Abstract:
In a recent article Margalit Finkelberg raises the question of whether or not the phrase κλοσ ἄπ;θιτον at Iliad 9.413 is indeed a Homeric formula:λετο μν μοι νóατοσ, τρ κλοσ ἄπ;θιτον ἔσταιHer purpose is to ‘test the antiquity of κλοσ ἄπ;θιτον on the internal grounds of Homeric diction’ (p. I).1 Proposing to use specifically the analytic techniques of oral theory, she argues that this phrase does not represent a survival from an Indo-European heroic poetry, as has been suggested from the occurrence of its exact cognate, śápos;rdvas áksitam, in Vedic poetry. To this end Finkelberg presents a precise and carefully organized argument. I briefly summarize its two branches as follows:(1) It is the formulae that comprise the oldest stratum of Homeric diction, and so it is here that one would find survivals of Indo-European poetic diction. κλοσ ἄπ;θιτον ἒσται (which Finkelberg correctly argues to be the complete phrase), however, cannot be judged a Homeric formula by the criterion of repetition since it is a unique phrase in Homer. Nor can it be judged a formula by the ‘functional’ criterion since the better attested κλἒοσ οὒ ποτ óλεῖται expresses the same essential idea in the same metrical shape.(2) A unique phrase such as that in question might nonetheless be ancient. The development of the use of ἄπ;θιτοσ, first to modify concrete nouns, and only later with abstracts, however, would indicate that its use with κλοσ is late. The demonstration that κλοσ ἂθιτον ἔσται is a ‘formulaic expression’, moreover, argues that it was coined for this specific context in Iliad 9 by analogy with other Homeric formulae, and so does not preserve an Indo-European formula.

O ensino de aritmética, em especial, de multiplicação por vezes se manifesta como uma dificuldade na Educação Básica, desmotivando os alunos no ensino da matemática. Assim, vimos nos recursos e estratégias que a história da matemática oferece, em particular, em documentos originais, como Vedic Mathematics or Sixteen Simple Mathematical Formulae from the Vedas (1965), escrito por Jagadguru Sankaracarya Sri Bharati Krsna Tirtha Maharaja (1884 - 1960), a possibilidade de trabalhar questões voltadas para o ensino da multiplicação. Este documento apresenta técnicas aritméticas simples, fundamentadas em sutras, que compreendem adições, subtrações, multiplicações, divisões, equações do primeiro e segundo grau, extração de raízes quadradas e cúbicas, entre outros. O objetivo desse estudo é apresentar uma proposta de atividade baseado no método védico, para auxiliar no ensino da multiplicação em series finais do ensino fundamental, em especial, do 6o ano. Essa proposta consiste na multiplicação de dois números com dois algarismos no multiplicando e no multiplicador envolvendo os sutras. Os sutras são orientações, aforismas, presentes no documento que deve ser compreendido e aplicado de forma adequada para o educando. Por meio dessa atividade os alunos vão desenvolver conceitos relacionados a ordem das centenas, dezenas e unidades, ou seja, aprender a questão do valor relativo de um número, além de desenvolver novas formas de multiplicação. Desta maneira, esse estudo foi realizado no sentido de contribuir para a articulação da educação matemática com a história da matemática, com vista a contribuir para o ensino de multiplicação.

Abstract:
In this dissertation an examination of oral style in the Sixteen Vedic Sanskaras with particular reference to the Naming, Marriage and Death ceremonies, has been made. Sanskaras, which originated in the Vedas, have been orally transmitted from teacher (Guru) to pupil from generation to generation. The Introduction outlines the role of Sanskaras in the life of a Hindu and its link with the ancient Vedas. The oral features that facilitate memorisation and transmission of the Mantras are mentioned. The three universal anthropological laws of Marcel Jousse are applied. The first chapter focuses on the theoretical framework of orality where important terms are defined. The contribution of Marcel Jousse and Ong are highlighted. The orality-literacy continuum is elaborated upon. The important role of memory skills as a facilitator of the transmission of knowledge is explained. The second chapter deals with the origin and the classification of Vedic literature. The role of the Sacred Fire (Yajna) in Sanskaras is emphasized. It is around this ritual fire that the ceremony and the oral traditions revolve. The fire is central to all the rites and ceremonies and the litanies constantly refer to the fire as the vehicle of transmitting the aspirations of the devotee to God. The third chapter states the reason for the choice of the topic and summarises each of the sixteen Vedic Sanskaras. This is followed by the identification of oral elements in the Naming ceremony. The evidence of orality in the marriage ceremony features in chapter four initially establishing the importance of the marriage ceremony and thereafter outlining the essential steps of a Hindu marriage. The death ceremony is described in chapter five with special reference to evidence of oral style expression therein. The conclusion emphasizes the role of orality in keeping alive the Hindu tradition and customs. It also augurs well for further research in Vedic literature.<br>Thesis (M.A.) - University of Natal, Durban, 1995.

Abstract:
This dissertation is accompanied by a video recording of the performance of the yajna and an audio recording of the mantras (sacred verses) recited during the performance. This thesis endeavors to illustrate how oral style elements are used to accentuate the mantras during the performance of the yajna. The mantras and the yajna itself, have its roots in the Vedic scriptures which have been transmitted orally from generation to generation. In chapter one, "Introduction", a brief description of the concept of Hinduism which forms the basis of my investigation is presented. An individual's life, according to Hinduism, is divided into four stages and the performance of yajna features prominently in the sixteen Vedic sanskaras. In chapter two, the term yajna is defined and the origin of yajna as reflected in the Purusa Sukta is discussed. The five main daily duties or Panca Mahayajna, presented for the welfare and progress of the individual and society are explained. It must be noted that the Panca Mahayajna are not necessarily all rituals or rites but rather social or human commitments, which are a part of the Vedic code of ethics. However, the Deva Yajna or Agni-hotra or yajna as it is very commonly known to Hindus, is a ritual that is performed. The Devayajna forms an integral part of the Panca Mahayajna. The third chapter outlines some of Marcel Jousse's thoughts, views and ideas about oral style expressions relevant to the yajna. The universal anthropological laws of Formulism, Bilateralism, Mimism and Rhythmism as propounded by Marcel Jousse are highlighted. Key concepts like gesture, memory, rhythm and oral expression, used as facilitators for the transmission of knowledge are explained. this chapter forms part of the conceptional framework of the study. Chapter four focusses on the definition of oral tradition The Vedas, an example of Hindu literature reflecting oral tradition, are discussed. Some interesting comments tracing the authenticity of the Vedas and facts declaring the Vedas as the source head of all knowledge about human behaviour also feature in this chapter. In the fifth chapter, the procedure, explanation and analysis of the gestural and oral expressions as reflected in the performance of the yajna are examined. The anthropological laws of Marcel Jousse are applied in the recitation of the mantras and the actual performance of the yajna. Mnemotechnical devices that facilitate memorisation, featuring in the mantras are discussed. The conclusion emphasises the role of oral style elements that are evident in the yajna and explores the possibility for further research in Vedic literature.<br>Thesis (M.A.)-University of Natal, Durban,1999.

Abstract In formulaics especially, as elsewhere in the study of poetics, the investigator must distinguish the diachronic, historical from the synchronic, descriptive, but at the same time move from the one to the other. Formulaic examples like those given just above from Vedic, Greek, and Old Irish are synchronic formulas. Cases like these just alluded to in Early Irish are synchronic formulas which are also diachronically viable. That is to say that in favorable cases this can be demonstrated by comparanda and motivated.

Abstract:
The chapter traces the non-European roots of specialized knowledge production in the ancient times as illustrated by the civilizations of the Indian and the Chinese regions. Examining the archaeology and ethno-archaeology of remains of the civilizations in the valleys of the Indus and Yellow rivers, we try and capture the earliest knowledge in crafts production technology such as architecture, metallurgy, lapidary, and ceramics. Orally transmitted Vedic knowledge, eschatology, metaphysics, grammar, phonetics, astronomy, the post-Vedic systems of thought, Ayurvedic knowledge, architecture, nature of metallurgical texts, the Indian and Chinese textual traditions, and epistemological traces constitute other contents of the chapter. This chapter underscores the early India’s methodologically distinct aphoristic structure of stating truth as astute observations generalized as self-validated principles, the logic of which corresponds to that of mathematical equations or formulas. It discusses the history of mathematical astronomy. A distinct epistemic shift is explicit in India’s astronomy of fourteenth to sixteenth centuries CE. Mādhava of Sangamagrāma (c. 1340–1425 CE) in Kerala marks the beginnings of this shift through his path-breaking mathematical advances in conceptualizing infinite series. The chapter ends with a concise discussion of the Chinese history of knowledge systems across the material cultures

Abstract:
The article explores the origin, development, and function of commentary as a specific genre of the ancient Indian literary tradition. The author connects the appearance of commentary literature to the formation in the middle of the 1st millennium BC of the tradition of the sacred “recollection” (smṛti), which inherited the authority of the Vedic canon of divine revelation (śruti). It is argued in the paper that another important factor contributing to the formation of commentary literature consisted in public debates on religious and philosophical issues, in which traditional Brahmanic wisdom was compared for the (cт.32) first time to the unorthodox worldview of new religious movements (primarily, Buddhism and Jainism).The main form of discourse in the tradition of smṛti became the aphoristic verbal formulas (sūtras). The collections compiled with the help of these verbal formulas functioned as basic (“root”) texts in various fields of knowledge, but the understanding of these concise manuals without commentaries was almost impossible. Commentaries, created to explain short aphorisms of various “root” texts, became a universal genre that ensured the continuity of the smṛti tradition and the progressive development of various fields of knowledge. The author differentiates two distinct approaches to commenting of the ancient Indian texts: “technical” commentary, connected to the practice of oral learning, and “analytical”, originated from the theoretical discourse and polemic style of oral debates. The paper, furthermore, provides a detailed description of various types of commentary (bhāṣya, vārttika, ṭīkā), appeared during the period of written fixation of “root” texts and reflective of a new paradigm of written literature. Keywords: commentary, Sanskrit, Indian literature, authorship, śruti, smṛti, sūtra, bhāṣya, śāstra, vārttika, ṭīkā.

Abstract:
An ancient system of mathematical knowledge, from the Vedic-related texts of India, there is also a set of rich techniques of solving complex problems by using these techniques with remarkable speed and accuracy. Although its historical importance, its practical applicability in modern fields of engineering and technology is not properly explored. The paper addresses the fusion of Vedic mathematical techniques with contemporary engineering applications and their applications in optimizing calculation and improvement of problem-solving efficiency. We show such effectiveness of core Sutras (mathematical formulas) like 'Nikhilam', 'Ekadhikena Purvena' in domains of signal processing, control systems, cryptography, and optimization algorithms. This can greatly decrease computation time and improve accuracy, providing new insights to engineers and researchers in many technological domains, and by integrating such methods, they are shown to streamline computation further. Additionally, it talks about the interdisciplinary links between Vedic Mathematics, history, philosophy, and modern science, as an integrated proposition to the issues of problem solving. The paper demonstrates through case studies and examples that Vedic Mathematics can supplement traditional engineering practices and there is potential for innovations as well as improvement in the methods of educational methodologies. This work finally calls for the integration of Vedic mathematical principles within the engineering curriculum to bridge the gap between ancient knowledge and advanced technological advancements.
