General rule that is followed by Dasaru,
There are atleast two methods of calculation in this
"aN^kAnAM vAmatogatiH" [counting from right to left].
1. based on the ancient/prAchIna system [prior to Panini].
2. the current "ka-Ta-pa-yAdi" system used in astrology [Panini method?]
1. prAchIna system:[used by Dasaru]
ka=1 kha=2 ga=3 gha=4 ~N=0
cha=1 Cha=2 ja=3 jha=4 ~n=0
Ta=1 Tha=2 Da=3 Dha=4 Na=5
ta=1 tha=2 da=3 dha=4 na=5
pa=1 pha=2 ba=3 bha=4 ma=5
ya=1 ra=2 la=3 va=4 sha=5
Sha=6 sa=7 ha=8 La=9 xa=10
2. kaTapayAdi system: Note there is no La and xa in this system!
ka=1 kha=2 ga=3 gha=4 ~N=5
cha=6 Cha=7 ja=8 jha=9 ~n=0
Ta=1 Tha=2 Da=3 Dha=4 Na=5
ta=6 tha=7 da=8 dha=9 na=0
pa=1 pha=2 ba=3 bha=4 ma=5
ya=1 ra=2 la=3 va=4 sha=5
Sha=6 sa=7 ha=8
Shri Jagannathadasaru uses mainly the _prAchIna_ system i.e., prior to Panini days. The anusandAna is that each 'axara' has specific number of rUpa-s [each axara again has several rUpa-s and so on..]and together every word signifies specific number of Bhagvat rUpa-s. HKS, especially in the fourth sandhi, Dasaru has given bhagavatrUpa-s present in many vastu-s and all these get screwed up if we follow "kaTapayAdi" system.
Also note that some very important axara-s like La, and xa are not used in that system.
For example, take the bhagavat rUpa-s present in pure sweetness like Jaggery known as tIxaNa[HKS 4.5-6]. Shri Jagannathadasaru says it has 5101 rUpa-s[HKS 4.5-6]
tI = 1
xa =10
Na = 5
Using the reverse way/aN^kAnAM vAmatogatiH, they give 5101 -- exactly as per Shri Jagannathadasaru[HKS 4.5 --"aidu sAvira nUrA ondu"]
Firstly, in forming the numbers - 3 groups are made S1 vowels - a to aH
S2 - Middle consonants - ka to ma
S3 - secondary consonants - ya, ra, la, va, sha Sha, sa, ha, La kSha
Here for the middle consonants, there are multiple systems -
M1 - Each varga separate (so numbers will always be 1 to 5)
M2 - ka to JNa and Ta to na and pa to ma (3 groups - 1 to 10, 1 to 10, 1 to 5))
M3 - ka to ma one group itself.
In each prakaraNa, they follow one of these systems - in HKS, they are following M1.
Next question is when do we add and when do we juxtapose (just place one next to the other)?
vowels - never juxtaposed , if they come by themselves, they are taken separately. like Ananda - in that A stands for 2.
If they come along with consonants, they are just "silent".
Like gI is 3
"ga + I and so 3 + 4 and so 7" - this is not the case. gI is 3 only gU is 3 only gai is 3 only.
That is why da(in Ananda or any other word) is 3 only and not 3 + 1. dai is 3 only dau is 3 only.
In case of dvitvAkShara (they dont say sajAtIya samyuktAkShara - but effectively that), it is always added. TTa = 1 +1 = 2
nna = 5 + 5 = 10. So anna is 101
In case of samyuktAkShara(two different consonants) , there are 4 possibilities -
S2 + S3 = not juxtaposed (that means added) - this may have rare exceptions - those that have vedic separability
S2 + S2 = mostly juxtaposed (see below - in most of the cases they have vedic separability) - when in doubt just think that they are juxtaposed.
S3 + S2 = not juxtaposed (that means added)
S3 + S3 = not juxtaposed (that means added)
taking one consonant from S2 and another from S3, they are added. Like pra = 1 + 2 = 3 ; rpa = 2 +1 = 3.
If both are from S3, then also added.
If both the consonants come from S2, then, if they have vedic separability, they are juxtaposed -
For ex, pradyumna = pradyumana (as if mna is separated). So 5 and 5 are juxtaposed - not added.
anusvAra (M) is zero.
saNkarShaNa can also be seen as saMkaruShaNa ; Na = 5, Sha = 6, r or ru = 2, ka = 1 M = 0 , sa = 7 - so 562107.
In case of some words, there may be lot of variations. We go to vedic root.
shrItulasi = shrItuLasi = shrItulashi = shrItuLashI ; the root formation is shrItulashi - shi = 5, la = 3, tu = 1 , shrI = 5 + 2 = 7 = so 5317.
There are some special cases like prANa once 513 (pra + aNa) and once 53 (prA +Na).
As mentioned above, in one case the vedic root pra + ana is used and the other one used prA + Na.
Probably this kind of differentiation was made to bring some distinction as in first case it is prANAkhya paramAtma and in second case, it is prANa antragata Pradyumna rUpa.
