Abstract : Encoding is the action of transferring a message in to codes. In this paper I present a study on the encoding systems in vedic era and modern era. The Sanskrit verses written in the vedic era are not just the praises of the Gods they are also numerical codes. In ancient India there were three means of recording numerals in Sanskrit words which are Katapayadi system, Bhutasamkhya system and Aryabhata numeration. These systems were used by many ancient mathematicians in India. In this paper the Katapayadi system used in vedic times is applied to modern ciphers– Vigenere Cipher and Affine Cipher.
