Aryabhata mentions in the Aryabhatiya that he was 23 years old 3,600 years into the Kali Yuga, but this is not to mean that the text was composed at that time. This mentioned year corresponds to 499 CE, and implies that he was born in 476. [6] Aryabhata called himself a native of Kusumapura or Pataliputra (present day Patna, Bihar). [1]

Aryabhata used this number system for representing both small and large numbers in his mathematical and astronomical calculations. This system can even be used to represent fractions and mixed fractions. For example, nga is 1 ⁄ 5, nja is 1 ⁄ 10 and jhardam (jha=9; its half) = 4 + 1 ⁄ 2. [further explanation needed]
Melakarta chart as per Kaṭapayādi system. The melakarta ragas of the Carnatic music are named so that the first two syllables of the name will give its number.
