Being a series of ancient Hindu texts with sacred value, the Vedas have to be studied deeply in order to find the sutras they conceal.

These are contained in the Vedic Ganit: The Original Vedic Mathematics, with each of the sixteen sutras representing and detailing a specific technique for mental calculation.
