पदच्छेद of वर्णादिंस्तदनन्तरम्

[Sandeep Trasi]

Namaste,

I came across the word वर्णादिंस्तदनन्तरम् in the Ganapati Atharvashirsha. Can anyone explain how the sandhi occurs here?

Thanks,
Sandeep

Thanks Abhyankar-ji, सुडागम  is what I was looking for.

It's not clear to me how (the rules for) सुडागम gets applied along with नश्छव्यप्रशान् though.

नमस्ते संदीप-वर्य !

When asking "... It's not clear to me how (the rules for) सुडागम gets applied along with नश्छव्यप्रशान् ..." you have of course probed deeper into my narrations in my Lesson #28. Let me explain => 

I have a book "सन्धिः" by जी. महाबलेश्वरभट्टः published by संस्कृतभारती, बेङ्गळूरु. In that, for सन्धि-s of the type तांस्ते there is a foot-note #23 नश्छव्यप्रशान् (8'3'7) So, these सन्धि-s are dictated by this सूत्रम्. The foot-note continues mentioning further नश्छव्यप्रशान् इति सूत्रम्, अग्रे "समः सुटि" इति सूत्रञ्च प्राधान्येन लिखितम् | परन्तु उपर्युक्तः सर्वोऽपि न तयोः सूत्रयोः अर्थः | प्रक्रियासौकर्याय अन्येषां सूत्राणामर्थोऽपि क्रोडीकृतः | 

By this I take it that सन्धि-s of this type are dictated just by the सूत्रम् नश्छव्यप्रशान् (8'3'7) not even by समः सुटि (8'3'5) [Note, this सूत्रम् does hint at सुडागम] but the प्रक्रिया involves other सूत्र-s also.

Actually the paragraph on explanation of सन्धि-s of this type starts with the mention "... नकारान्तात् पदात् चछयोः परयोः नकारस्य शकारः, टठयोः परयोः षकारः, तथयोः परयोः सकारश्चादेशो भवति | आदेशात् पूर्वत्रस्थितः स्वरः अनुनासिकः अनुस्वारयुक्तः वा भवति | किन्तु एतेभ्यः चादिभ्यः परे स्वराः यरलवमनाश्च (अम्) भवेयुः | ..." 

According to this note, in वर्णादीन् + तदनन्तरम् , we have न्-कारस्य परे तकारः. So, 

• न्-कारस्य स्-कारः 
• In वर्णादीन् the स्वरः before न् (आदि to न्) is ई. That becomes अनुनासिक or अनुस्वारयुक्त. So, दीं or दीँ. 
• All in all we have वर्णादीं or वर्णादीँ + स् + तदनन्तरम् = वर्णादींस्तदनन्तरम् or वर्णादीँस्तदनन्तरम्. 
  

Alternative way of understanding this प्रक्रिया can be to say that 

• न् becomes अनुस्वार 
• and may there be सुडागम
  
• Nett result will be the same. One has वर्णादीन् becoming वर्णादीं or वर्णादीँ Then + स् by सुडागम + तदनन्तरम् 
• Isn't this alternative way, just a two-step प्रक्रिया simpler ? Of course, it takes recourse to सुडागम by taking अनुवृत्ति of सुट् from समः सुटि (8'3'5) 

Maybe, this alternative way would not be acceptable to more knowledgeable grammarians. I do have some inkling of what their objections can be. But explaining those objections is also not simple, it is complex. Can we put them aside and just proceed ?

Thanks again Abhyankar-ji, for the detailed explanation.

[Muthukrishna Ramanujam]

Namaste Abhyankarji. I have few more questions about this Sandhi. I have some notes on this Sandhi which list series of Sandhi when applying this rule as follows.

भवान् चरति  =   भवार् चरति   = भवाँर् चरति /भवांर् चरति . The र् is replaced by विसर्ग  and later by स्  . Then other Sandhi rules are applied resulting in भवाँश्चरति / भवांश्चरति .

By what rules does न् changes to र्  and then र् to विसर्ग  and later विसर्ग to स्

May be I should not worry about the intermediate steps as I am just beginning to learn this rule.

Regards,

Ramanujam

नमस्ते श्रीमन् मुत्तुकृष्ण-रामानुजं-वर्य !

I am left wondering why you think that in "भवान् + चरति becoming भवाँश्चरति / भवांश्चरति", there is some step of "न् changes to र्" (?!)

What rule we are looking at is नश्छव्यप्रशान् (8'3'7). Here नश्छव्यप्रशान् = नः छवि अप्रशान् 

Let us focus on "नः छवि" leaving aside "अप्रशान्", because that is an exception.

"नः छवि" means something should become of न् when followed by छव्.

In "भवान् + चरति" we do have न् followed by छव्, since च belongs to प्रत्याहार छव् (= छ् ठ् थ् च् ट् त्). 

So "something should become of न्". What is that something, that should happen of न् ?

By two सूत्र-s, previous to नश्छव्यप्रशान् (8'3'7), we get अनुवृत्ति-s of अनुनासिकस्य अनुस्वारः and सुट् (= आगम of स्). 

In the case on hand, we have अनुनासिक न् which should become अनुस्वार and we should also have सुट् (= आगम of स्).

By that we get भवान् + चरति = (भवां or भवाँ) + स् + चरति 

Now at "स् + चरति" we have the case, which is eligible to apply स्तोः श्चुना श्चुः.(8'4'40) Hence स् would become श्. 

All in all भवान् + चरति = (भवां or भवाँ) + स् + चरति = (भवां or भवाँ) + श् + चरति = भवांश्चरति or भवाँश्चरति

Namaste Sri.Abhyankar-ji

Thank you for your response. As you explained clearly, it looks like there is really no need for the intermediate steps listed in the lesson ( Shri Chitrapur Math Lesson 63, page # 418 ).

Thanks again.

नमस्ते,

नः छवि अप्रशान् 8/3/7 इति सूत्रम्। This sutra is mentioned under ''पदस्य' 8/1/16 Adhikaara. From मतुवसो रु सम्बुद्धौ छन्दसि 8/3/1, There is अनुवृत्ति of रु, and from पुमः खय्यम्परे 8/3/6 there is अनुवृत्ति of अमि।

Therefore अनुवृत्तिः - पदस्य, रु, अम्परे

So, the complete sutra will be नः (षष्ठी, विशेषणम्), पदस्य (षष्ठी), रु (प्रथमा) अम्परे (सप्तमी, विशेषणम्) छवि (सप्तमी) अप्रशान् (षष्ठ्यर्थे प्रथमा)

Meaning of this sutra is: नकारान्तस्य पदस्य रु भवति अम्परे छवि परतः न तु प्रशान्शब्दस्य।

It means - When a पदान्त नकार is followed by a letter from छव् प्रत्याहार, which in turn is followed by a letter from अम् प्रत्याहार, then the नकार is converted to रुँ. But this conversion does not happen for the word "प्रशान्".

So, भवान्+चरति becomes भवार्+चरति by this rule.

Then by अत्रानुनासिकः पूर्वस्य तु वा 8/3/2, the letter before रुँ is optionally converted into अनुनासिक, than it becomes:

भवाँर् चरति/भवार्+चरति

Then the rule अनुनासिकात् परः अनुस्वारः 8/3/4, generates अनुस्वार  after the previous letter. (this rule is applicable only if the letter before रुँ is not converted into अनुनासिक), than the form will be:

भवाँर् चरति (with अनुनासिक, 8/3/2) /भवांर् चरति (with अनुस्वार, 8/3/4)

Then by खरवसानयोः विसर्जनीयः 8/3/34 रेफ gets विसर्ग. Now it becomes:

भवाँः चरति / भवांः चरति

Then विसर्ग will be converted into सकार by विसर्जनीयस्य सः 8/3/34. Now the form is:

भवाँस् चरति / भवांस् चरति 

Now स्तोः श्चुना श्चुः 8/4/40 is applicable. Therefore it becomes:

भवाँश्चरति / भवांश्चरति

This is not an example of सुट्. सँस्स्कर्ता / संस्स्कर्ता etc are  examples of सुट्
