Katyayana
katyayana. katyayana was neither a mathematician in the sense that we would understandit today, nor a scribe who simply copied manuscripts like Ahmes.

Extractions: We cannot attempt to write a biography of Katyayana since essentially nothing is known of him except that he was the author of a Sulbasutra which is much later than the Sulbasutras of Baudhayana and Apastamba . It would also be fair to say that Katyayana's Sulbasutra is the least interesting from a mathematical point of view of the three best known Sulbasutras. It adds very little to that of Apastamba written several hundreds of years earlier. We do not know Katyayana's dates accurately enough to even guess at a life span for him, which is why we have given the same approximate birth year as death year. Katyayana was neither a mathematician in the sense that we would understand it today, nor a scribe who simply copied manuscripts like Ahmes . He would certainly have been a man of very considerable learning but probably not interested in mathematics for its own sake, merely interested in using it for religious purposes. Undoubtedly he wrote the Sulbasutra to provide rules for religious rites and to improve and expand on the rules which had been given by his predecessors. Katyayana would have been a priest instructing the people in the ways of conducting the religious rites he describes. Katyayana lived in a period when the religious rites that the Sulbasutras were written to support were becoming less influential. People were turning to other religions and perhaps this lack of vigour in the religion at this time partly explains why several hundreds of years after

INDIA'S CONTRIBUTION TO PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY
Another Indian philosopher, Pakudha katyayana who also lived in the 6th century B.C.
http://india.coolatlanta.com/GreatPages/sudheer/physics.html

Extractions: made by Smelting technology in ancient India It would be surprising for many Indians today to know that the concepts of atom (Ann, Parmanu) and relativity (Sapekshavada) were explicitly stated by an Indian philosopher nearly 600 years before the brith of Christ. These ideas which were of fundamental import had been developed in India in a very abstract manner. This was so as their exponents were not physicians in today's sense of the term. They were philosophers and their ideas about the physical reality were integrated with those of philosophy and theology. Table of Contents Home Introduction Chapter 1: Production Technology and Mechanical Engineering Chapter 2 Shipbuilding and Navigation Chapter 3 Architecture and Civil Engineering Chapter 4 Mathematics Chapter 5 Astronomy You are currently viewing Chapter 6 on Physics Chapter 7 Medical Science Chapter 8 Fine Arts Chapter 9 Sports and Games Chapter 10 Philosophy Chapter 11 Summing Up Glossary Sanskrit-English Glossary Next Book A Search for Our Present in History The Five Basic Physical Elements From the Vedic times, around 3000 B.C. to 1000 B.C., Indians (Indo-Aryans) had classified the material world into four elements viz. Earth (Prithvi), fire (Agni), air (Maya) and water (Apa). To these four elements was added a fifth one viz. ether or Akasha. Ac cording to some scholars these five elements or Pancha Mahabhootas were identified with the various human senses of perception; earth with smell, air with feeling, fire with vision, water with taste and ether with sound. Whatever the validity behind this interpretation, it is true that since very ancient times Indians had perceived the material world as comprising these 5 elements. The Buddhist philosophers who came later, rejected ether as an element and replaced it with life, joy and sorrow.

http://taipei.tzuchi.org.tw/tzquart/97winter/qw97-10.htm

Extractions: Buddha's Disciples By Lin Sen-shou Subhuti Subhuti was born in a Brahman family in the state of Sravasti. When he was born, the family furniture and possessions suddenly disappeared, leaving the house bare. His parents were shocked by this event, so they asked a fortune-teller why this had happened. The fortune-teller told them that it was a good sign, so there was no need to worry. Subhuti was smart but had a very bad temper. Later he went to the Buddha. When he heard the Buddha's teachings, he became one of his disciples. He was the first to understanding the Buddhist concept of "emptiness." Among all the disciples who went to greet the Buddha, Utpalavarna, who was renowned for being the nun with the greatest supernatural power, greeted the Buddha first. When she saw him, she prostrated herself before him and said, "Buddha, I, Utpalavarna, am the first disciple to greet you." The Buddha smiled. "Utpalavarna, you are not the first. Subhuti is, because he has seen the selflessness of everything and has comprehended the emptiness of everything. He also understands that he sees me whenever he hears my teachings, so he was the first to see and greet me." According to the rule set down by the Buddha, all the monks and nuns had to go from door to door to beg for food, without regard for the social status of the donors. However, Subhuti always went to the homes of rich people to beg for food, no matter how far away they were. After a while, some monks noticed this and started to criticize him for seeking good food and for looking down on poor people. Subhuti explained to them: "I beg food from the rich not because I desire their food, but because the poor already have problems feeding themselves, so how can they have any left over for us? It is already embarrassing for us that we cannot give them food, so how can I dare to add to their burden by begging food from them? for rich people, giving a meal is a very easy thing to do, and that is the reason why I do not bge from the poor."

Extractions: THE KAUSHIKAs The kaushika (descendents of the influential kushika) include such intellectual giants as vishvAmitra and madhucchandasa. What is arguably the single most important verse in all the vedas - the gAyatri mantra- was composed by vishvAmitra. This set of lineages has kshatriya origins. vishvAmitra himself was a king of some importance during the vedic age. The accounts of his rivalry with vasishTha make up one of the great dramas in the vedas and the post-vedic literature. All the kaushika lineages have come down through vishvAmitra. The vaishvAmitras may be divided into 20 gotra-gaNas as shown below: NOTE: In the table below, the subdivisions of the kaushikas are listed. The name of the gotra is listed in the first column, and the corresponding pravara rshi set is in the second column. Since some of the pravara lineages are specific to the followers of certain sutras, the appropriate sutra is given in the third column. Wherever there are two or more sets of pravara rshis, it should be taken to mean that there are different lineages that correspond to a certain gotra. In general, the set of pravara rshis is a more accurate indicator of a person's descent, than simply the gotra itself. GOTRA PRAVARA RSHIs SUTRA vishvAmitra vaishvAmitra, daivarAta, audala

Extractions: THE BHARGAVAs The Bhargavas (descendents of Bhrgu) include such illustrious names like Chyavana, Jamadagni and Parasu-rama (usually referred to as ramo bhargava, or simply as bhargava). The Bhargavas may be divided into the 5 subsets. The first subset may be called simply Bhargava, constituted by 11 gotras. The remaining 4 subsets of the Bhargavas are individual gotras by themselves. Collectively these 4 subsets are called the Kevala Bhargavas. NOTE: In the table below, the subdivisions of the Bhargavas are listed. The name of the gotra is listed in the first column, and the corresponding pravara rshi set is in the second column. Since some of the pravara lineages are specific to the followers of certain sutras, the appropriate sutra is given in the third column.
