but was conventionally written as it is done in modern regional languages like Gujarāti, Konkani and Marāțhi.
Grammatically, the nasalization is made in the following instances :
(1) In nom. and acc. sg. neu. extended 3734 form : Hc. 8.4.354. Fra17 Ś TAAT: 11
(2) In nom. and acc. plu. neu : hi and ati
(3) All nominal forms ending in the terminations : ¢, fé, and ; also verbal formations in j and fe.
(4) All pronominal forms ending in and 3 e.g. , , TÉ, , 13 etc.
(5) Indeclinables like até, FÉ, FI, mis etc. as also other indeclinables ending in हिं like जावहिं, तावहिं etc.
This sort of nasal tone is almost not marked by Ms. A ; while B. and C. have tendency to write aer, sometimes even where it is not required, e.g. A. f9013; B. Requi 1.7.4.; A. 4095 2018 at 124 FAS14; B. 293 EU 41 f445 igau; C. qu...18. 1.7.8.
Where nasal-dot is not necessary, Ms. B. has the nasal-dot: A. 07951013; B. 74FITS, 1819 and further also: 1.5.1.
The detailed observation of Mss. variants will bear out such incidence.
As I have mainly followed Ms. A., it does not contain almost at all places the pasal-dot even when it is necessåry.
3. Hyfa and a-fa Mss. are indifferent in the use of these Śrutis, though aftur vowels 3 and ओ generally the following vowel has व-श्रुति e.g. A. तिहुयण ; while B.C. तिडवण 1.2.1.; A. 390g; B.C. 24KET 1.3.2.; A.B. H, C. & 2.8.12.; A. 9a, B.C. 94 3.3.14.; A. 1998; B. utas 4.1.1.;
The same text has the hesitation : for e.g. A. faila 1.7.10; wala 2.7.6. ; qax 2.6.11 ; 94 2.10.9. ; 493 2.9.7. ; 67 3.6.10. ; 943 8.13.5.; 1494 10.8.7. Such illustrations of व-श्रुति are abundantly found in hesitation with य-श्रुति.
4. The use of a for a Almost all the Mss. except C. uses a fora. Sometimes a is represented by Ms. A. as . Ms. A. has spelt : 319F 2.11.14; -1073559% 3.2.11. I have adopted the original sk. as q and sk. a as a in the constituted text irrespective of the variations in the Mss. readings. However where a is represented by ca, I have retained it.
q, or the preceding vowel " + x for . As observed before this tendency has been noted by Hemacandra. e.g. lūta = sk Art 1.3.6.; mfalà 1.1.2, ; quafory 1.1.3. ; # 3.5.4. ; 29* 1.9.9. ; faa 2.7.4. A number of illustrations by the study of various Mss. readings and the variants of the constituted text.
