    What is the significance of Capital letters in the chart? for example, kOma, nishAdam, thEvra

      Capital (upper case) letters are used to indicate that the vowel is pronounced long, as in looong, and not long.
      kOmal = kooomal, nishAdam = nishaadam, thEvra = theevra, etc.

    To indicate deergham/hrasvam, i.e. sadhan vs Saadhan. Some use a capital 'A' instead of 'aa'
