While this verse is a type of petition to Krishna, when learning it one can also learn the value of pi/10 (i.e. the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter divided by 10) to 32 decimal places. It has a self-contained master-key for extending the evaluation to any number of decimal places.

The translation is as follows:

O Lord anointed with the yogurt of the milkmaids' worship (Krishna), O savior of the fallen, O master of Shiva, please protect me.

At the same time, by application of the consonant code given above, this verse directly yields the decimal equivalent of pi divided by 10: pi/10 = 0.31415926535897932384626433832792. Thus, while offering mantric praise to Godhead in devotion, by this method one can also add to memory significant secular truths.

why is pi divided by ten? This means that when you want to make a wheel with a radius of 1 meter you'll get only a wheel of 20 cm radius. Even when I chant that verse givven above 10 times, I'll get ten wheels each with 40 cm diameter.

And long before the constant pi was known to humans, they had the knowledge to make wheels. They simply calculated 6 fold radius plus a bit to get the circumference of a wheel. The point of the pi calculation is not to make bicycle wheels. pi/10 gives the same value as pi to 32 decimal places. Pi is an "irrational" number; some type of numerical technique is needed to approximate its value. These days, of course, the approximation is done using a computer. It is amazing that a simple mantra can do exactly what a computer does, yielding the exact same result:
