Hi Netters,

     As requested by some people,I am posting this MaeLakarthaa chart, in the
proper format,so that it can be better appreciated(especially w.r.t its logical
permutation and combination sequence).Also,herein,I've provided the pronuncia-
tions,I've used according to KATAPAYAADHI SANKHYA,for unambiguous understanding


   ka kha ga gha n?a cha Cha ja jha N?a
   1  2   3   4  5    6   7   8  9   0

   ta Ta da Da Na tha Tha dha Dha na
   1   2  3  4 5   6   7   8   9  0
 
   pa Pa ba bha ma
   1  2  3   4   5

   ya ra la va scha sha sa ha   
   1   2  3  4   5   6   7 8  

   La,ksha.
        
       I don't know how to write the missing letters in the first row.This
chart fortunately doesn't include those letters.Any good representation is
welcome.

      For need of space,I've given ri,ga,dha,ni differences by their suffixes.
They represent the following.
    
         ri          ga               dha              ni

1.   schudhdham      schudhdham      schudhdham       schudhdham

2.   chathuschruthi  saadhaaraNam    chathuschruthi   kaischiki

3.   shatsruthi      antharam        shatsruthi       kaakali


    Also,read the combinations ae,ee,ie,oe,ue like the corresponding
isolated vowels (those with umlaut as in German).Similarly,read `sch' as
in Schmidt,Schwartz,Schlenk etc.(Looks like German characters are close to our
pronunciation!).
    I've tried to maintain consistancy thro'out and the original Sanskrit
pronunciations.Pl.excuse me if there are any mistakes.

     Some maeLas like,i9,46,48,54,55,59,61,66 seem to have some differen type 
of SANKHYA.Can any stalwarts of Sanskrit clarify these?

Thanks in advance.
