The "Kadapayathi" formula is attributed to Sri Muthuswami Dikshitar, one of the Trinity of Carnatic music. This formula is a systematic approach used for constructing the Raga Lakshana or description of a raga through specific patterns of notes that characterize the raga's structure.

The "Katapayadi" formula, a system of representing numbers using Sanskrit consonants, was invented by Vararuchi of Kerala, and while it's used in Carnatic music to name and arrange the 72 Melakarta ragas, it's not limited to that context.

The "Katapayadi" (often spelled "Kadapayathi") formula was not invented specifically for Carnatic music but was developed in ancient India, attributed to scholars like Vararuchi, a prominent figure in Sanskrit and linguistics. This alphanumeric system assigns numerical values to syllables to encode numbers into words, making memorization easier. Though not exclusive to music, it found significant application in Carnatic music, particularly in determining the melakarta (parent scale) numbers of ragas. For example, the names of melakarta ragas are encoded using the Katapayadi system to reflect their numerical position. Thus, while it has broader use in Indian mathematics and astrology, it plays a unique role in organizing Carnatic ragas. read less
