सिद्धान्तशिरोमणि: गणिताध्याय (भास्कराचार्य - ग्रहगणित, मध्यमाधिकार व स्पष्टाधिकार सटीक)

xiii 6. How many like me, born in Brahmin families, are being proselytized into the English system of education burying in the Bay of Bengal all that is grand in the Vedic and Sanskrit lore. 7. I raise my hands in supplication to Lord Venkateśvara, who took His abode on the Seven Hills as though to look down upon this mundane and irreligious world. It was He that has brought me here, to worship Him residing at His very feet. 8. I feel it was the deep devotion of my wife to Lord Venkateśvara that has brought us here, dislodging us from our home and hearth. 9. May those administrators flourish, who exert and strive to save the ocean—like Vedic lore from the yawning mouth of Oblivion ! D. ARKASOMAYAJI
