No, when you asked me about it, I specifically told you that I cannot vouch
for the authenticity of such a thing. This is clearly stated and stored in
the archives for all to see.
The ode is mentioned in the Vedic Mathematics book, though. The author
doesn't claim authorship of either this ode, nor the encoding, nor the
gematric system. He doesn't mention any date either. He doesn't say whether
the ode is in the Vedas.
I never, not once said I thought Indian invented that encryption and stored
that value of PI at a very ancient time. You did.
What I said was that one of the examples of what I want to do in the
language I'm envisioning, is visible in this ode. And the ode is mentioned
by the author is his book.
I never claimed to know at what date the encoding was done, nor a precise
PI/10 value to 32 decimal places was discovered.
You did that all by yourself because you were intent on tackling the
theological argument, not me.
I couldn't care less. For all I care, the encryption could have been done
the day before he wrote the book, but it still inspires me to do the same
kind of thing in a new language.
But I could see clearly that you were starting to reject anything having to
do with the Vedas and/or Indian mathematics, which as I said previously is
fallacious thinking.
Yash.

[Hermit] Horseshit. This was your choice, seeing a theology debate instead
of a rejection of a mathematical, logical and historical monstrosity. My
argument, stated in my first response and requoted ad nauseam, was that your
assertion of PI in "Vedic Maths" was and is invalid, incorrect and
unsustainable. That remains the "turd" in the well. You introduced "ancient"
- I put numbers to it to show that your historical assertions were as much a
pile of crap as the PI story.
