The fact is this technique was first used in ancient Indian classical music system to give a unique number to each raga so that by just knowing the raga name one would be able to tell its number and by knowing the number one can derive the swara sthanas of that raga!

The first documented reference for this system is available in the works of Aryabhatta where he used this system to represent numbers. Yes sir, it is not vedic.

But it would be interesting to know how old this system really is. btw, this system is also known by the name 'paralpperu' in Kerala. Please see http://www.namboothiri.com/articles/katapayaadi.htm Nice article.
