Grantha - 4 - Consonants ca & ṭa

| ॐ नमो धर्मराजाय । ஓம்° நமோ த⁴ர்மராஜாய |     |यत् करोति शुभं कर्मं सुखं तस्य भविष्यति।यत् करोति अशुभं कर्मं दुःखम् एव भविष्यति ।   | யத் கரோதி ஸு²ப⁴ம்° கர்மம்° ஸுக²ம்° தஸ்ய ப⁴விஷ்யதி |    | யத் கரோதி அஸு²ப⁴ம்° கர்மம்° து³​:க²ம் ஏவ ப⁴விஷ்யதி |    || Those who do Auspicious deeds, happiness will happen for them ||   || Those who do Inauspicious deeds, only suffering will happen ||     Now for the fourth lesson. In the previous lesson, we had covered the  varga along with Jihvāmūlīya (and Ardha-Visarga ). Henceforth, Roman/Tamil/Devanagari equivalent will not be used to for letters that have been already covered.    We will see two more Vargas now.   ca-varga The ca-varga is known as tālavyā तालव्य தாலவ்ய  i.e palatal    ca ச च    cha ச² छ    ja ஜ ज    jha ஜ² झ     ña ஞ ञ ṭa-varga The ṭa-varga is known as mūrdhanya मूर्धन्य மூர்த⁴ந்ய  i.e retroflex    ṭa ட ट    ṭha ட² ठ    ḍa ட³ ड    ḍha ட⁴ ढ    ṇa ண ण     Same Letters as in Tamil                           Letters similar to that in Tamil              Similar Letters If Lesson-1 is recalled, I had said there is another letter similar to the Anusvāra. The letter should have been already recognized by now. Anyways, here it is     The Smaller circle denotes the Anusvāra and the bigger circle represents ṭha ட² ठ. Try reading the below word :-) (all the characters have been covered in the lessons)     Lots of pretty circles nah ? :-P   BTW fourth lesson is officially over. In the next part next two vargas - /pa ப प/ & /ta த त/ will be covered, along with the lone Ayogavāha, which is left over from the previous lessons.

Dear Vinodh,

did you take liberties with the sandhi?
;-)

I count 16 syllables in

| யத் கரோதி ஸு²ப⁴ம்° கர்மம்° ஸுக²ம்° தஸ்ய ப⁴விஷ்யதி |

but I count 17 syllables in

| யத் கரோதி அஸு²ப⁴ம்° கர்மம்° து³​:க²ம் ஏவ ப⁴விஷ்யதி |

Best wishes

-- Jean-Luc

P.S. I mention this because it is easier to memorize texts with have a regular metrical structure.

He has broken a sandhi :)

கரோதி அஸு²ப⁴ம்° = கரோத்யஸு²ப⁴ம்°

Dear Vinodh,

for the purpose of my own reading practice
(using a metrical text)
I had last january prepared a short extract
of the VP (because I am interested in vyākaraṇa)

Others might find it useful

It may of course contain mistakes

I include it as an attachment

When does lesson 5 come?

Best wishes
