the formula used to determine the number of a melakarta from its name or vice versa. The first two syllables of the melakarta name are used, each representing a digit, and the number that results is reversed to give the melakarta number. It has four lines, the first line starting with ka (kadinava, 9 letters), the second ta (tadinava, 9 letters), the third pa (padipanca, 5 letters), the fourth ya (yadiashTa, 8 letters). Each of these ka + ta + pa + ya di add up to make the name of this formula
