Does pi'i really take precedence over te'a?

This is a poem from Helsem's "ziryroi":

   _ku'i ki'u ma_

  [li] te'o te'a vei
  ka'o pi'i pai ve'o
  su'i pa du [li] no

      "But why?"

     e to the (
  i times pi) power,
 plus 1, equals zero.

I like this form better because it contains "the five most
important numbers of mathematics" as I read somewhere, as
well as the three operations, su'i, pi'i and te'a.
