Skt.Kuru (to do) is the More Colloquial form of Skt.Kṛṇu

Kṛṇu is the 2nd Person,Singular,Present Imperative Parasmaipada form of the root "Kṛ" (do)

Whilst,Kṛṇu occurs 8 times in all of Ṛgveda (3 times in Book 6)

Kuru is restricted to Book 10 alone and occurs twice ImageImage Though trivial facts at first sight- consider this

The Proclivity for Kuru to replace Kṛṇu from Maṇḍala 10 and then with Increasing Frequency in Atharvaveda and Post-Ṛgvedic Texts is slightly baffling as even Hans Hock notes (in the snippets below)

The Principles of Differential Calculus were stated much earlier in India by Hindu Mathematicians in Sanskrit

Mañjula(932 CE) in his work Laghumānasa states the Differential Formula of the Sine Function in the following form :

Sinθ′−Sinθ = Cosθ(θ′−θ) where (θ′−θ) tends to 0 Nīlakaṇṭha Somayājī- Jyeṣṭhadeva's Contemporary provides the Exact Form of the Derivative of the Inverse Sine Function in his Tantrasaṅgrāha

Tantrasaṅgrāha was composed in 1500 CE in Sanskrit at about the time Jyeṣṭhadeva- who authored Yuktibhāṣā was Born
