LITERARY EVALUATION
557
Final Words with final consonants are made to end in vowels by:(i) Dropping the final consonant
जाव (यावत् ४४।१४), अचिरा (अचिरात् ४७४१) (ii) Adding 'a' and 'a' in Masc. and Fem. forms respectively
(see Declensions). Only final nasal exists which is changed into anusvăra:भयवं (भगवन्) २३।१२, चारियं (चरितम् १०४।१), अलं (अलम् ४६।१६).
Medial Yasruti
The following unaspirate medial consonants are usually dropped and the remaining 'a' and 'a' take 'ya’ śruti:
क-अणेय २।१४६, ग--नयर १।४७, च-गोयर ७१।५६, ज-भोयण ७७।३३, त-सीयल ११३, द-हिया १११६, प-विउल ११३४, य-आउ ५२४६, व-लायण्ण ३॥३६.
Vararuci does not allow 'ya'śruti but Hemacandra allows (8.1.180). Vaśruti
Often when 'pa' is dropped it is replaced by 'va' śruti:
मण्डव (मण्डप ३।१), तावी (तापी ३५१), विवन्न (विपन्न ६.१७), ख्व (रूप ४११४०).
It is sanctioned by Vararuci (2.13) and Hemacandra (8.1.211). Instances of initial 'pa' becoming 'va' वहरन्ति (पहरन्ति) ८.५७, ववडन्त (प्रपतत्) ८.२२४.
There are some examples of 'va' Śruti for other consonants :
अवलोवरणी (अवलोकनी ७।१३९), जूवाउलयन्ति (यूकापनयन्ति ६।४४), मारी वि (मारीचि ८।१५), मुरक (मुरज ७।१५६; ४२११९) मारिवव्वा (मारितव्या ११०४२). उवहि (उदधि ४८।५४; १०२।८३), हणुवस्स (हनुमतः ४७।२५), धणुवं (धनुष २८।१०४), कविलास (कैलाश ९५७), पालोव (मालोक २।१२), अज्जव (आर्यक २७।३५), आहीरव (बाहीरक ६८।६४), खेव (खेद ६७।२३), गहिवाए (गृहीतया ५४६), जुवलय (युगलक ६५।२३), ८०६७), पव्वाविन (प्रवाजित ११४।१५), फोडव (स्फोटक ६३।२६),
भुव (भुज १११।१३) and सुरगीव (सुरगीत ६३।१६). Pischel (230, 231, 246, 251) observes 'va'sruti even in the Ardhamagadhi, literature. We can trace it in the Vasudevahindi (I.p. 152, 1.6 avaloviyā=avalokita) and in the TP (4.606 bhuva=bhuja).

८६६०), ध–कोह (क्रोध ७११५१), फ–विहल (विफल ७२।१३), भ-सोहा (शोभा ६।१७). Exceptions in-भ-वसभ १२।५.
