________________ Vol. XXXVI, 2013 Significance of Geometry in the Rgveda 19 Thus the Rgveda text resorted to use of mathematical orders without suggesting absolute values for space and time. However, the angular and positional values within the ecliptic would get properly enumerated. The curvature of space began with the churning actions that manifested from the very beginning of creation. The absolute position of the epicentre of all events was kept vague, just as the principle of the “mind"; that is, a divine mind. Waveform propagation was impressed upon. The triangles and trapeziums represented neither space nor time in absolute values, but were only characterising phenomenal tendencies. It was these divine tendencies that the sages worshipped. Just as Baudhāyana stated.” in those earlier times the uttaravedi forms were simpler triangles and trapeziums”; not so simple though.
