Abstract

"The Siri Bhoovalaya is a seminal work of literature, believed to have been composed approximately a millennium ago, which encompasses diverse information encrypted using numerals of the Kannada language—a predominant language of southern India. Currently, only a portion of this enigmatic text is accessible, and deciphering its content remains largely a manual endeavor. This article presents a novel model designed to automate the conversion of these Kannada numerals into phonetic alphabets of the designated language. Subsequent to this conversion, algorithms rooted in Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques are utilized to form coherent words. These algorithms adhere to the linguistic and grammatical structures of the target language. Through this research, we aim to establish an initial technical blueprint to shed light on the profound content encapsulated within this age-old masterpiece."
