case against mathematics

" Miyathe anayaa ithi maya " - Maya is that which can be measured.

The mentioned verse is from some sanskrit source . Yet to verify the source though. My questions at this point are

1. Is the statement valid according to the philosophical axioms of praxeology
2. If true, does it explain the preference for qualitative mthodology over empirical or analytical methodology by miseans of the world.
3. Is the implication significant as far as mathematics as an appropriate tool in social science ( apriori science ) is considered
