I am late into the discussion but a small not. k K g G jn p P b B m There is a sandhi called jashthva sandhi in Sanskit, it goes likes this. whenever the first vyanjanam is succeeded by the 3rd vyanjanam of differentrow, then the first vyanjanam is replaced by its corresponding 3rd vyanjanam. Like in this example. triShTubgAyatryuShNiganuShtubjagati, triShTup + gAyatryuShNiganuShtubjagati = triShTubgAyatryuShNiganuShtubjagati Sandhis are made in mantras or shlokams to achieve the alankaram, (Meter/Length). Like we have anushtup, trishtup, mAlini, ShArdUla VikrIditham Regards Vijay -----Original Message----- From: Vishnu [mailto:vsmvishnu@xxxx] Sent: Sunday, April 18, 2004 9:45 PM To: ramanuja@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ramanuja] Re: trishtubh vs trishtup Dear Mr Kasturi Rangan, Anyone who has a knowledge of Telugu/Kannada/Hindi will let you know that your stand on this issue is incorrect. > > > > The last line is not fool-proof.

You are re-writing jaStva sandhi, to justify one simple mistake committed by you. That is not neither sanskrit nor samskAram, my dear friend!
