In order to help the pupil to memorize the material studied and assimilated, they
made it a general rule of practice to write even the most technical and abstruse
textbooks in sutras or in verse (which is so much easier-even for the children-to
memorize). And this is why we find not only theological, philosophical, medical,
astronomical, and other such treatises, but even huge dictionaries in Sanskrit
verse! So from this standpoint, they used verse, sutras and codes for lightening
the burden and facilitating the work (by versifying scientific and even
mathematical material in a readily assimilatable form)!

Ref.
“Vedic Mathematics and the Spiritual Dimension” by B.B. Visnu Swami
Spiritually advanced cultures were not ignorant of the principles of mathematics,
but they saw no necessity to explore those principles beyond that which was
helpful in the advancement of God realization. Intoxicated by the gross power
inherent in mathematical principles, later civilizations, succumbing to the
all-inviting arms of illusion, employed these principles and further explored them in
an attempt to conquer nature. The folly of this, as demonstrated in modern
society today, points to the fact that
“wisdom” is more than the exercise of
intelligence. Modern man's worship of intelligence blinds him from the obvious:
the superiority of love over reason.
