Directions for question :

In this fictitious tale, the two legendary mathematicians and astronomers Aryabhatta and Varahamihira met at a dinner party hosted by King Chandragupta Vikramaditya at his palace in Pataliputra. 

Aryabhatta, the senior and more moody among the two, being slightly inebriated with the excellent ‘somras’ served by the king, and in a very good mood, suddenly said to Varahamihira -- ‘If distinct alphabets of the english language stand for distinct digits, then SATURN plus URANUS will be equal to JUPITER’!! 

Though initially puzzled by this sudden statement from Aryabhatta, Varahamihira quickly regained composure and solved the challenge thrown by Aryabhatta.

    We already know that the ten letters of the English alphabets Aryabhatta had used in his statement of SATURN + URANUS = JUPITER were in place of the following digits : 

A = 4,

E = 2,

I = 8,

J = 1,

N = 7,

P = 0,

R = 6,

S = 9,

T = 3, and

U = 5

Thus, in sync with the thought process of Aryabhatta, the word PARASITE would be represented by 04649832.

Hence, the summation of the letters of PARASITE would be 0+4+6+4+9+8+3+2 = 36
