I too have a question regarding the sankhya. I have come across
a sloka which encodes the digits of the the decimal expansion of
pi (correct to about 20+ decimal places) based on the katapayadi
sankhya.
I would like to know the source of the sloka. Those readers with
Web access can check out:
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~krisna/pi.html
[The reason I am giving a Web address is that the page has the
sloka in devanagari---which might avoid some of the problems in
transliteration]
For those without Web access, the sloka approximately
transliterates as:
gopi bhaagya madhu vrata, srngisho dadhisandhiga |
khalajivita khatava, galahata rasandhara ||
I appreciate a pointer to the source or any other relevant
information. Thank you.
