वेदाङ्गशास्त्राणां गणितं मूर्ध्नि स्थितम्

यथा शिखा मयूराणां नागानां मणयो यथा।

तद्वद् वेदाङ्गशास्त्राणां गणितं मूर्ध्नि स्थितम्॥

Just like the ornamental and colourful feathers atop the head of a peacock defines the beauty of the bird

Just like the shining precious stone adorning the head of a serpent is the greated possession of that reptile

Mathematics just adorns the topmost position at the head of all the sciences and parts of Vedas, and adds greatness to scriptures and sciences.
