PI
The circumference of a circle is p (pi) times the diameter of the circle, where pi is approximately 3 1/7 (or 22/7 - these sacred numbers turn up frequently in Hindu texts and Rosicrucian literature), or 3.14, or about square root of 10. The value of pi is an irrational number, and pi to 39 decimal places is sufficient accuracy to calculate the circumference of the universe to within the radius of the hydrogen atom! Here it is to 100 decimal places (see here for 5000 decimal places):

In Vedic Mathematics, Swami Sri Bharati Krsna Tirthaji Majaraja shows the vedic numeric code, and how a hymn in praise of the Lord Shri Krishna, the Lord Shri Shankara, is also the value of p/10 to 32 decimal places (and apparently a key to calculate it to any number of decimal place, which I do not know) - the Sanskrit is shown above, which you can decode in to syllables and the decoding key below.
