In the library of Sawai Jai Singh there is the Rekhaganita, a Sanskrit translation of Euclid.
Pandit Jagannath Samrat who authored this translation coined over a 100 new mathematical terms in Sanskrit to complete the translation
This itself a secondary translation from an Arabic translation in the 13th century. Pt Jagannatha was proficient in Skt, as well as Arabic and Persian
He credits Sawai Jai Singh in his work and how he helped Brahmins of Vrindavan when they were persecuted by Aurangzeb
Some of the words coined for mathematical usage by him 🤔🤔
Find it hard to believe all these were innovations and not used before
