What it is
A short PDF that lists the 72 melakarta names with the number each decodes to under the katapayadi code, and marks the names that need the code read in a special way.
Why it is useful here
Confirms the name-to-number pairing of all 72 melakartas and documents the names where a conjunct consonant is read specially.

Verification
Status verified, checked on by http-fetch. Downloaded the PDF (content type application/pdf) and extracted its text. The file's embedded title is 'Melakarta pronunciation memorization...', so the title stored here follows the file name and the document's own heading about the katapayadi sutra applied to the 72 melakartas. The page lists names 01 to 72 with their decoded numbers and a note that '~' marks overriding of a conjunct consonant.
