These clusters (the first two with P, 8.3.26f., and, in addition, the last three with Kty), when following an anusvāra, were pronounced then in two ways : either the anusvāra being retained, or it being changed to m, n, 9, , and 1 respectively. As has been shown by V. Bhattacharya45 and A. M. Ghatage, 46 this second tendency which began with P and spread at the time of Kty has become more and more frequent in the later stages of Indo Aryan and is the usual one in most NIA languages.

Nágela (in the Udd yota at 7,2.67) by resort to 2.1.72 of P. According to Kaiyaţa (11th c.A.D.) on M above and Vardhamana (1140 A.D.) on Kärikā 120 of the Ganaratnamahodadhi, it forms a member of the manojādi-gana referred to by Pat 5,1.133 and thus gives the form ahopuru sikā with the suffix vun and earrying the sense of "the attitude or action of (proudly) considering oneself to be manly." However, neither the Kasika (7th c.A.D.) nor Birwe (p. 344f. of Der Ganapatha zu den Adhyayas IV and V der Grammatik Paninis, 1961) record it within the Gana;
but Bòhtlingk does include it there (p. 130* of Panini's Grammatik, reprint 1964). 12 Noted by Vidhushekhara Bhattacharya, "Panini's Grammar and the influence of
