I am late into the discussion but a small not.

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

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.

Good. What are the sandhis allowed in the above mantra and what are 
the sandhis that are disallowed?

There is no such laxity for brahmins in major part of India.

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

Can you explian what is jaStva sandhi according to you, and with a 
few more exmaples?
