I did not know that, but it makes sense. > In fact, TeX is the tool of choice for most people working at the forefront > of the history of Indian mathematics. TeX is most common for people writing any kind of mathematics, including engineers, physicists, and computer scientists. However, my point was slightly different -- in a text that is almost entirely in Sanskrit (not a contemporary translation of a Sanskrit work or a work presented mathematics originally found in a Sanskrit text), there is unlikely to be much use for math notation.
