Katapayadi sankhya is a
simplification of Aryabhata's
Sanskrit numerals, due
probably to
Haridatta
from Kerala. In Malayalam it is also known as 'Paralperu'. For eg:
ചണ്ഡാംശുചന്ദ്രാധമകുംഭിപാല represents 31415926536 which is π*1000000000000000. More examples
in Malayalam are given in this page
LibIndic's katapayadi module may be used to find out katapayadi number of a given string, as well as to get Swarasthanas of a Melakartha number.
