Ooooh, implication of the above: I reinvented the wheel! Does this mean I am clever? <!--emo&:clapping--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/clap.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='clap.gif' /><!--endemo--> :all-hopeful[right][snapback]81361[/snapback][/right]

It has nothing to do with the Atharva Veda as is commonly claimed. The sutras were a recent production of a Shankaracharya of one of the Mathas. "Vedic arithmetic" is vastly exaggerated in terms of their ability to produce quick numerations - a waste of time.
