GP is obviously using "them" to refer to the formulas. I understand how it could be confusing; on first pass I too looked back for the first word "them" could be referencing - but GP tricks us by writing out "god" again later in the sentence! Since we know Ramanujan is male and "god" is used again, the only valid noun "them" could be referencing is "formulas".
