According to Stephen Skinner, the study of sacred geometry has its roots in the study of nature, and the mathematical principles at work therein. [5] Many forms observed in nature can be related to geometry; for example, the chambered nautilus grows at a constant rate and so its shell forms a logarithmic spiral to accommodate that growth without changing shape.
In the Class 7 textbook topic titled “Our Pasts-2”, pages 48 and 49 have been excluded.

In addition to the papers listed below, Kosambi wrote two books in mathematics, the manuscripts of which have not been traced. The first was a book on path geometry that was submitted to Marston Morse in the mid-1940s and the second was on prime numbers, submitted shortly before his death. Unfortunately, neither book was published.
History of Hindu Mathematics: A Source Book, [2] written by him jointly with Avadhesh Narayan Singh (1901–1954) became a standard reference work in the history of Indian mathematics. [3] [4] He also wrote a monograph on the Shulba Sutras. [5] He published more than 70 research papers mostly related to the history of Indian mathematics. [6]
The Dharmaguptaka are known to have rejected the authority of the Sarvāstivāda pratimokṣa rules on the grounds that the original teachings of the Buddha had been lost. [39] The complete Sarvāstivāda Vinaya is extant in the Chinese Buddhist canon. In its early history, the Sarvāstivāda Vinaya was the most common vinaya tradition in China.
