Vishnu killed them by manifesting as Hayagreeva, after Madhu and Kaidabha stole the Vedas, and hid them in the Ocean.
Vishnu then retrieved the Vedas.
The bodies of Madhu and Kaidabha split into 12 parts(two times Six)
These twelve are the Twelve tectonic plates of the earth.( Padma Purana)
I have read an interesting academic paper on Mathematics involving Higher Mathematics of Numbers and was struck by its findings and the Truths expressed in hinduism Five Thousand years ago intuitively.
First let me state something about relevant numerical in Indian thought.
Ekam-1 Brahman
Dwi-2. Purusha and Prakriti
Thrini-3.Sattva, Rajas,Tamas; Brahma, Vishnu, Rudra.
Shasti-6.Six sense organs, indian Philosophy classifies Mind as an Organ like mouth, eyes ..
Nava-9.Navarasas, Nine expressions of the Living.Navagrahas,Navamsa,Navaveeras( of Shiva, along with Subrahmanya)
Here one finds from the subtle Brahman , gradually becoming gross through the others till it reaches the level of the expressions of Humans.
Now to Mathematics of Numbers.
