1. chaturadhikam = 4 more
- from Baudhyana ulbastra believed to be
than
written in 800 BCE by Baudhyana
2. shatamaSTaguNam = 100 times 8
3. : dvaaShaSTiH (tathaa) = 62 (thus) Meaning: "A rope stretched along the length of the
diagonal produces an area which the vertical and
4. sahasraaNaam = times 1,000
horizontal sides make together" (Pythagoras
5. ayutadvaya = twice ten thousand theorem)
6. viSkambharasya = of diameter
7. aasannaH = approximate
8. vrttapariNaahaH = circumference
(of circle)
9. = circle
10. = circumference
To find the value of "Pi" i.e. 22/7 to get
the area & circumference of a circle, we
have to use the formula as:-
4 More of 8 times hundred =
832(4+100*8)+62,000(2+60,000)
Divide it by Twice of 10,000 i.e., (10,000
*2) 20,000
