Metrical Modifications For metrical reasons a cluster is simplified and we find a single intervocalic stop instead of the regular double. We find -u- in the place of -a- tu- or -u tu- as the result of Sandhi. In the place of final nasal we find nasalization of the vowel that precedes it. The nasal consonant of the present participle ending -nta- is changed to nasalization of the vowel that precedes it.
Terms of address or reference
In the Dohās in numerous cases there is an addresser-addrssee context. The addressee, generally in the singular or at times in the plural, is instructed by the addressor to know, understand, or act. Obviously we can take this as the Guru instructing the “isya. The Sisya as a novice is at times addressed as वढ i.e. मूढ, मूर्ख (Nos. 39, 45, 65, 90, 110, 160). In no 52,99 the listener is addressed as Ya Oh son’. But in no. 26,54,73,79,103,106,149 occurs est 'Oh dear friend'. We may note in this connection : afe Tsafe Š FARTU (Dohāpāhuda, 174).
In the Paramātmaprakāśa, the terms of address are either fotel (self, soul') or Fişel (i.e. the aspirant DIFTI). At 2, 142 and 145 occur गुरुव, गुरुवड, explained in the commentary as तपोधन i.e. a practising ascetic. In the Dohāpāhuda we have several terms forall Gila (10-12, 25-26, 28-29, 33,37, 119-120, 134, 197, 200, 209); TE (2, 22, 64 etc.); F6451 ('heart) (106), HUT (“mind') (199); 371527 42, 53, 69, 108, etc; 46 13, 52, 85, etc; 46016 (196); E (40, 41, 45, 122, 136, 139); Et hfe (122, 139); 31 (=afa) (51,155,187,186), 76961 (130, 131).* * In the Apabhramśa illustrative citations given by Hemacandra
occur 26, 37114U; T6451 occurs in the Kumārapālapratibodha of Somaprabha : fui rignis fury fora gf64-4h5 fraifi.
