AryabhaTa's and kaTapayAdi systems of encoding numbers in Sanskrit words have been in vogue since antiquity in Indian science. The process of decryption and decoding such numbers from the verses has been achieved only manually hitherto. Automating this process has been the focus of this communication. The process of decryption was achieved using a code writ-ten in LabVIEW platform of programing.

Abstract


AryabhaTa's and kaTapayAdi systems of encoding numbers in Sanskrit words have been in vogue since antiquity in Indian science. The process of decryption and decoding such numbers from the verses has been achieved only manually hitherto. Automating this process has been the focus of this communication. The process of decryption was achieved using a code writ-ten in LabVIEW platform of programing.
