The book defines a new original method of astronomical-mathematical interpretation of the veda-saühità-s. It consists in application to the Vedic hermeneutics of the interesting mathematical procedures or algorithms (prastàra and others) described in the 8th chapter of the Chandaþ-øàstraü of Piïgala.
Our attention was drawn towards these algorithms by Prof. Ram Karan Sharma at the XIth WSC held in Turin (2000). They were presented as enigmatic mathematical rules of classification of Sanskrit syllabical meters. However, according to our view, their purpose had not been a simple classification of syllabic meters and determination of the numerical order of their multiple modifications, but in reality they had represented an algebraic binary code developed by means of Vedic Sanskrit, a perfect programming language of antiquity, for encoding of large decimal numbers. It was outlined in algebraic form in the VIIIth chapter of the "Chandaþ-øàstraü", which was the important algebraic Vedic "Science of encoding and metrics". One of the algorithms, so-called Vedic rule of adhva-yoga, establishes a strict identity between binary and decimal numbers.
The Vedic mantra-s, which are treated predominantly as poetic stanzas or magic spells of incoherent, sometimes dark, mythological nature, now with the aid of computer, have been read as digital formulas. The developing of this code in a vedàõga treatise, presumptively, was necessitated by the encoding and subsequent preservation in memory of large astronomical tables needed for mathematical astronomy of jyotiþ-÷àstra and calendrical ritual of the kalpa-såtra-s.
This discovery of new method of interpretation forms an important turning point in scientific comprehension of the Vedic scriptures and the origins of civilization.
