In Episode 4 of Ancient Code, Modern Mind: Unlocking Ancient Knowledge with AI, host Harsh Rain explores Verse 2 of Aryabhata’s Daśagītikā, revealing a 5th-century system that turns Sanskrit syllables into a numerical powerhouse—numbers in syllables, a cosmic code. From the jasmine-scented nights of Gupta-era Kusumapura, Aryabhata shrank astronomical figures like 4.32 million Sun revolutions (in a Mahayuga) into khyughṛ. Harsh decodes this step-by-step, showing how consonants (varga and avarga) and vowels team up like a cosmic playbook. He digs into a mysterious second method—imagined as a chessboard—and celebrates its oral legacy, making millions singable in an ancient world. With his engineer’s eye and Sanskritist’s heart, Harsh partners with AI to unpack this brilliance, proving its echo into 2025.
