III. THE SANSKRIT DIGITAL NUMBER CODE
The Sanskrit source for the Enochian code appearing in the Calls is known as the Vedic
Number Code or Ka-Ta-Pa-Ya-Dhi, (Ka, Ta, Pa, and Ya all being valued at one in this code). It
is this code which serves as a key to unlocking the allocation of the 50 letters of the Sanskrit
alphabet to the 50 petals of the chakra system. The rules for the Katapayadhi Number Code are
as follows:
1) The 34 consonants of the Sanskrit Alphabet represent the numbers 0 through 9 as
digits within a number.
2) The 16 vowels receive no number value or place value.
3) Each consonant of a word is a place value (digit) of the resultant number.
4) When two consonants are conjoined in a word the last consonant receives the
number value.
5) The number of consonants (or conjoined consonants) in a word determines the
number of digits which compose the number value of that word. Thus all one consonant words
will be valued between 0 and 9; all two consonant words will be valued between 10 and 99: all
three consonant words will be valued between 100 and 999, etc.
The number values for the 34 consonants and the 16 vowels are as follows:
