[vii ]
मति ईश्वरः = उत्क्रामतीश्वरः (xv. 8.), तु उद्देशतः = तूद्देशतः (x. 4.) etc.
(b) Conjunction of dissimilar vowels : अ or { followed by इ or ई gives ए, एका इह = एकेह (i. 41);by उ or ऊ gives ओ, श्रद्धया उपेतः=श्रद्धयोपेतः ( vi. 37.); by ए or ऐ gives ऐ, न एवं = नैवं (i. 38.); by ऋ gives अर्, देव कषि =देवर्षिः (ii. 13.) ; by ओ or औ gives औ; इ followed by any dissimilar vowel gives )य् , गच्छन्ति अनामयं= गच्छन्त्यनामयं ( ii. 57. ); so उ gives व् and ऋ, र .
( c ) Visarga , : changes in five ways ; it disappears, समवेताः युयुत्सवः= समवेता युयुत्सवः (i, 1); it is dropped before a vowel and no further change occurs, कामः एषः = काम एषः (iii. 37. ); it changes into ष, श and स, दुः कृतां = दुष्कृतां ( iv. 8. ), पांडवाः च = पांडवाश्च ( i. l. ), यज्ञः तपः तथा = यज्ञस्तपस्तथा ( xvii. 7.); it changes into ओ, यः मां= यो मां ( vi. 80. ), अजः अपि = अजोपि (iv. 6.) these cases being generally marked with s. as सः अर्जुन = सोऽर्जुन (iv 9. )]; it is changed into र्, योनिः महद् ब्रह्म = योनिर्महद्ब्रह्मं (xiv. 3. ) The details of the rules causing these changes must be sought in a grammar.
(d) Consonants: The final consonant of one word is modified by the first consonant of the succeeding one. These changes are very numerous and intricate, and will only gradually become familiar ; the following cases show the general principle above mentioned that the writing follows the sound; यत् ज्ञात्वा=यज्ज्ञात्वा (vii. 2.), यत् यत् विभूतिमत् = यद्यद्विभूतिमत् (x, 41.). यत् च = यञ्च (x. 39. )
