SANDHI RULES
Sarvevara Sandhi
1. When a Davatra is followed by its Ektmaka, the combination is Trivikrama.
Eg: Bhagavad-gt 10.11, 9.13
A. After a/: (6 plus 1)
2. When a/ is followed by i/, the combination is e

Eg: 2.41, 9.11


3. .......... by u/, combination is o
Eg: 2.14, 15.18
43. .......... , ar
43a) When -dvaya or a-dvaya are followed by -Rma, sandhi is optional.
Eg: 4.2, 10.13
44. .............-dvaya al
45. ........... e/ai ai
Eg: 2.12, 2.44
46. ............ o/au au
Eg: 1.6, 6.32
B. Before any Sarvevara: (6)
47. i/ changes to y when followed by a Sarvevara.

Then avagraha or apostrophe are put in its place.
Eg: 2.13, 2.24

54. The letters y and v of ay, y, av, v are optionally dropped after a Sarvevara.
This appears to be the case in Bhagavad-gt.
Eg: 1.6, 1.33
55. There is no sandhi of an interjection ending in o or if it is one of the Anantas.
55a) There is no sandhi of words ending in , or e when these terminations indicate the dual number,
except the maivdis.
55b) Vmana is called laghu
55c) Trivikrama is called guru
55d) Vmana is also guru when followed by sat-sanga.
56. A conjunction of Viujanas is called sat-sanga.

Viujana Sandhi
A. Five Viudsas
61. At the end of a word, Viudsa changes to Harigada (if the following letter is Sarvevara or Gopla).
The same change also takes place within the same word, if Viudsa is followed by Harighoa.
The change to Harigad is always within the same varga as the Viudsa.
Eg: BG 3.19, 3.37
Internal: 11.30
62. Final Viudsa can be optionally changed to Harivenu, when it is followed by Harivenu. (This is an
alternative to 61)
Eg: vk + mayam
1) vg mayam (By 61)
2) v mayam (By 62)
Option 1 is not used in Bhagavad-gt.
The change to Hariveu is always within the same varga as the Viudsa.
Eg 11.25, 9.34
63. Viudsa changes to Harikamala when followed by Ydava.
Eg. 3.5, 3.21
This rule is also used in internal sandhi in declension and conjugation.
Eg: ved + ti (10.3) vetti loka ....
ved +tha (10.15) vettha tvam
64. After Viudsa, a-rma can optionally change to cha-rma.

This option is usually seen when a-rma is preceded with d or t, in which cases 66 + 67 apply.
65. After Viudsa, ha-rma is optionally changed to Harighoa.
The Harighoa should be of the same varga as the preceding Viujana.
Eg. 2.31, 6.42.
B. Some Others
66. Da-rma or ta-rma always changes to the following letter before la-rma, ca-varga or a-varga.
In other words:
d/t before l changes to l
d/t before c/ch changes to c
d/t before j/jh changes to j
Eg: 8.16, 11.30, 10.9
67. Ta-rma changes to ca-rma before a-rma.
Three possibilities exist:
1. 67 applied, 64 not
2. 67 applied, then 64 applied
3. 64, then 66, then 63
Eg 9.31, 2.7, 7.1
68. Final n before c or ch becomes
before or h becomes
and before t or th becomes s.
Eg 2.14, 4.11
68A. Final n before l changes to l.
Eg: 4.39 (Viucpa is used always)
68B. Final n is changed to before j, jh, or .
Eg: 5.8
69. After final n is changed to before (by 68B), the letter c can optionally be added to .
Does not seem to appear in Bhagavad-gt.
70. Final m changes to Viucakra when it is followed by Viujana.
Eg 2.13, 9.26

71. Viucakra changes to Hariveu when it is followed by Viusarga. But if Viucakra is Viupadanta,
this change is optional.
Viucakra changes to Hariveu of the same varga.
Eg: sam + jaya (70) sa + jaya (71) sajaya
sam + kirtana (70) sa + kirtana (71) sakrtana
puram + jana (70) pura + jana (71) purajana
Harivenu always corresponds to the same varga as the following letter
Eg: ka-varga akha, akara
ca-varga paca. Kicana
The changing of Viucakra at Viupadnta is not used in Bhagavad-gt.
72. Cha-rma is reduplicated if it is preceded by Sarvevara.
Eg: premjana + churita (72) premjana+chchurita (63) premjana-cchurita
72a. If cha-rma is preceded by Viupadanta Trivikrama, the reduplication is optional.
74. Final , or n are reduplicated if they are preceded by Vmana and followed by Sarvevara.
Eg: 2.10, 4.6, 5.7
76. Viujana is optionally reduplicated if it is preceded by ra-rma and followed by another Viujana or
Sarvevara. But if Harigotra is followed by Sarvevara. This rule is not applied.
This rule is not used in Bhagavad-gt.
77. After Viujana, Viudsa is dropped, if it is followed by another Viudsa of the same varga.
Eg: (SB 1.4.2) bhagavn + ukha (68b) bhagav + ukha (69) bhagavac + ukha (64) bhagavac +
chukha (77) bhagav chukha

To before c, ch.
To before , h.
To s before t, th.
Eg: 2.13, 2.14, 4.34
81. Viusarga remains unchanged before auris.

Eg: 2.18, 2.20, 7.19


82. Viusarga, preceded by Vmana a and followed by another Vmana a or Gopla, always changes to u.
After Viusarga changes to u, the u makes sandhi with the preceding a: a + u = o. And if this o is followed by
a-rma, the a is elided, by sutra 53.
Eg: 2.13 dehina + asmin (82) dehinau + asmin (42) dehino + asmin (53) dehinosmin yath dehe
2.40 na + asti (82) nau + asti (42) no + asti (53) nehbhikrama-nosti

9.29 samoham
83. Viusarga is dropped in the following situations:
After Vmana a and before Trivikrama a or Ivara.
After Trivikrama and before Sarvevara or Gopla.
Eg: After Vmana a 2.61
After Trivikrama a 9.34
Others: 2.41, 2.45, 2.59
83A. Viusarga, in the words ea and sa, is dropped before Viujana.
Eg: 3.10, 4.2, 7.19
84. Viusarga, preceded by vara and followed by Sarvevara or Gopla, changes to r.
Eg: 4.13, 7.4, 9.30

before Sarvevara or Gopla.) ** Following no.84
Eg: 6.47. 8.16
85. Viusarga of the word aha also changes to r before Sarvevara or Gopla, except before the words
rtri, rpa and rathntara.
Eg: 8.17 (two examples)
86. R is dropped before another r and the preceding vowel becomes trivikrama.
Eg: hari + rdh-priya (84) harir + rdh-priya (86) har rdh-priya

VIUPDA-PRAKARAAM
1. In Sanskrit, any word which is not a verbal root nor a suffix, and has independent meaning, is called nma.
2. The first part of an inflected word is called prakti.

3. The second part is called pratyaya.


4. Tatra nmna s au jas prathama, am au as dvitiy, bhym bhis ttiy, e bhym bhyas caturthi, nasi

5. In these suffixes, the consonants j, t, , , p and the vowels u of su and i of asi are it (anubandha) they
disappear in the process of inflecting the words, but convey the need to apply certain rules in certain
situations.
As follows:
1. Pra

a) Puruottama masculine
b) Lakmi feminine
c) Brahm neuter
d) Avyaya indeclinables
7. The letters s and r change to Viusarga at Viupadnta.
Therefore:

________________________________________
Ka
Kau
K
8. (vocative)
10. Any nma ending in a is called Ka.
11. After Ka-saja, ta is replaced by ina.
Ka + ta (11) Ka + ina (41 s) Kena
12. In Ka-saja the final a becomes Trivikrama before a suffix beginning with a Gopla.
Ka + bhym (12) K + bhym Kbhym
13. After Ka-saja, bhis is replaced by ais
Ka + bhis (13) Ka + ais (45 s) Kais (7) Kai
So Ttiy of Ka-saja is:
Kena Kbhym Kai
14. After Ka-saja, e is replaced by ya.
Caturthi singular:
Ka + e (14) Ka + ya (12) K + ya Kya

15. In plural, the final a of Ka-saja changes to e when it is followed by a suffix beginning with a
Vaiava.
Caturthi and Pancami plural:
Ka + bhyas (15) Ke + bhyas (7) Kebhya
So Caturthi of Ka-saja is:
Kya Kbhym Kebhya
16. After Ka-saja asi is replaced by t.
Pancami singular:
Ka + asi (16) Ka + t (40 s) Kt
Pancami Ka-saja:
Kt Kbhym Kebhya
17. After Ka-saja as is replaced by sya.
Ka + as (17) Ka + sya Kasya
18. The final a of Ka-saja changes to e before os.
athi and Saptami dual:
Ka + os (18) Ke + os (51 s) Kay + os (7) Kayo
*** This is a universal rule. 19. After Vmana, Gop-saja and Rdh-saja, nu is inserted before m.
Eg. In nu, u is it. Any agama or addition having as it is called it, and they are always integrated with the
following suffix. Therefore n{u} + m = nm.
20. Before nm, Vmana becomes Trivikrama, except in tis and catas, and it is optional in n.
athi plural:
Ka + m (19) Ka + n{u} + am Ka + nm (20) Ka + nm Knm
So Ka-saja athi:
Kasya

Kayo

Knm

21. After vara, Harimitra, k and , the letter s changes to , if this s belongs to a pratyaya or virinci, and even
if num or Viusarga interposed; but this does not happen at the beginning or at the end of a word, nor in the
case of sti.
Saptami plural:
Ka + su{p} (5) Ka + su (15) Ke + su (21) Ke + u Keu
Saptami Ka-saja:
Ke Kayo Keu
22. In Sambodhana, su is called Buddha.

23 After Vmana and after e or o, Buddha disappears.


Sambodhana singular:
Ka + su (23) Ka
Examples of Ka-saja nmas:
Rma, viva, bhakta, mra, vka, nara, dhma, putra, ava, sarpa, uka, dsa, vinoda, bhrama, prana,
saya, krodha, jvara, roga, hasta, pda.
24. After r, or -Dvaya, the letter n changes to , even if there is no interposition of any combination of
Sarvevara, h, y, v, ka-varga and pa-varga. This change takes place within the same word but not at
Viupadnta.
Eg: rmea, rmam, rudrm, manuym, karmai, indriyi, pitm
In rmea, the Ttya singular of rma, n is preceded by r, with the interposition of me two sarvevaras
and a pa-varga. Therefore n changes to .
25. All the suffixes from as onwards are called Yadus.
The Sambodhana suffixes are not Yadus, because they are actually prathama.
26. The words pda, danta, msa and ya can optionally be replaced by pad, dat, ms and yan before
Yadu.
27. Final Trivikrama is Har before Yadu-Sarvevaras, but not in feminine words.

pataya

When pati is samsa (eg. Prajpati, narapati etc) it is declined like Hari-saja. The only difference then is
and the Vns.
40. Su is replaced by c after -Rma and after the word sakhi, but not in Buddha.
Sakhi + su (40) sakhi + {c} (37) sakh + sakh
41. When a-dvaya is replaced by , l-dvaya by ai, u-dvaya by au, -dvaya by r or -dvaya by l, this is called
Vndra.
Sarvevara
Vnndra

a,

,

sakhi + {j}as (5) sakhi + as (43) sakhai + as (51s) sakhy + as (7) sakhya
sakhi + am (43) sakhai + am (51s) sakhy + am sakhyam
sakhi + {}as (5) sakhi + as (8) sakhi + s (9a) sakh + s (9b) sakh + n sakhn
44. Sakhi is not Hari-saja from onwards; nor pati, provided it is not in samsa.
sakhi + {} (5) sakhi + (47s) sakhy
pati + {} (5) pati + (47s) paty
sakhi + {}e (5) sakhi + e (47s) sakhye
pati + {}e (5) pati + e (47s) patye
45. After words ending in khi or kh, ti or t, the suffixes asi and as are replaced by us.
Sakhi + asi (or as) (45) sakhi + us (47s) sakhy + us (7) sakhyu

8. After Davatra the a-rma of the suffixes am and as is Har.
9. Before as Davatra changes to Trivikrama and if the word is masculine the s of as changes to n.
19. After Vmana, Gop-saja and Rdh-saja, nu is inserted before m.
Eg. In nu, u is it. Any agama or addition having as it is called it, and they are always integrated with the
following suffix. Therefore n{u} + m = nm.
20. Before nm, Vmana becomes Trivikrama, except in tis and catas, and it is optional in n.
21. After vara, Harimitra, k and , the letter s changes to , if this s belongs to a pratyaya or virinci, and even

if num or Viusarga interposed; but this does not happen at the beginning or at the end of a word, nor in the
case of sti.
22. In Sambodhana, su is called Buddha.
23 After Vmana and after e or o, Buddha disappears.
After , or -Dvaya, the letter n changes to , even if there is no interposition of any combination of
Sarvevara, h, y, v ,ka-varga and pa-varga. This change takes place within the same word but not at
Viupadnta.
25. All the suffixes from as onwards are called Yadus.
27. Final Trivikrama is Har before Yadu-Sarvevaras, but not in feminine words.
30. If i-dvaya is replaced by e, u-dvaya is replaced by o, -dvaya is replaced by ar, and -dvaya by al, this is
called Govinda.

253. All the suffixes that have p as it are called Pthu.


I. Some examples of Pthu suffixes: ti{p}, si{p}, ni{p}, {}a{p} etc.
II. In this and the next five sutras, the suffixes are classified according to their anubandhas. This classification,
which includes the tibdis and others, is important for the application of certain rules.
254. The suffixes the have as it are called Nsiha.
I. Example: {}a{l} of Adhokaja.
255. If k is it the suffixes are called Kapila.

I. The Ka-dhtukas are: Acyuta, Vidhi, Vidht, Bhtevara and Bhtea, plus all the iva suffixes.
263. All other pratyayas are called Rma-dhtukas.
I. Pratyaya is a general term for suffix. There are specifically four types of pratyayas: svdis, tibdis, kdantas
and tadhitas. Of these the svdis and tibdis are also called Viubhaktis. The kdanta and tadhita pratyayas
will be explained in the 5th and 7th chapter.
There are also other suffixes called vikaranas which are sometimes counted as pratyayas. These vikaranas
come between the dhtu and the tibdis.
II. The Rma-dhtukas are: Adhokaja, Kmapala, Balakalki, Kalki, Ajita, the kdantas and any vikarana which
is not iva.
264. The parapada Viubhaktis are used in kart-vcya.
I. Examples:
* Ka gopai vanam gacchati Ka goes to the forest with the gopas
* Ka-bhakta param siddhim pnoti The Ka-bhakta attains the supreme perfection

* (BG 18.54) brahma-bhuta prasanntm na ocati na kkati one who is Brahman realized and whose
mind is pacified does not lament nor desire anything
265. But if the dhtu is tmapada, or the pratyaya has in it, the kart-vcya is made with tmapada
Viubhaktis.
I. The dhtus are of three kinds: parapada, tmapada and ubhayapada. One can know to which category a
particular dhtus belongs by referring to a dictionary.
II. The parapada dhtus are those that take only parapada Viubhaktis for kart-vcya. The tmapada dhtus
never use the parapada Viubhaktis.
III. Examples:
* prabhupda Ke modate Prabhupada rejoices in Ka
* pandav kuruketre sva-bandhun kante In Kuruketra the Pandavas see their kinsmen

268. In bhva-vcya, only prathama-purua eka-vacana of tmapada is used.
I. Explanation of kart, karma and bhva vcyas:
kart is the doer. The subject of the sentence.
Karma is the object of the sentence
In bhva-vcya the kriy itself is the subject of the sentence
II. Examples:
a) kart-vcya

* Bhva-vcya can also have a relation with the object of the verb, but this is not common:
eg. Bhajyate Kam prabhupdena the act of worshipping Ka is done by rla Prabhupda.
* Bhva-vcya can also be used in Vidhi, Vidhat etc.
Example: bhaktai japyeta the act of chanting japa should be done by the bhaktas.
III. Summary of the last five sutras:
* The Parapada Viubhaktis are only used with parapada dhtus to form the kart-vcya, never for the
karma-vcya.
* For karma-vcya and bhva-vcya only tmapada Viubhaktis can be used.
* The tmapada dhtus only take tmapada Viubhaktis for both their kart amd karma vcyas.
* The ubhayapada dhtus can take either parapada or tmapada Viubhaktis for their kart-vcya. But their
karma and bhva vcya can only be made with tmapada Viubhaktis.

The Bhvdis
(The First Class of Verbs)
I. In Sanskrit there are 10 classes of dhtus according to the peculiarities of their conjugation. The first
class is called bhvdis, because it begins with the dhtu bh.
II. A dhtu is a verbal root, from which the different verbal forms are developed, including the infinitive.
Therefore the infinitive should not be equated with the dhtu. The dhtu cannot be used in a sentence as an
independent word it has to be inflected. The dhtu vid, for example, from which the word veda is formed,

converys the idea of knowing or having knowledge. But to express the infinitive to know vid becomes
veditum (BG 18.1).
III. The meaning of a dhtu is given in Sanskrit in saptami. The English translation will be the infinitive minus
to.

First part: Bvdi-parapada-prakriy


Most of the sutras of this section are general rules, also applicable to tmapada, ubhayapada, and to other
classes as well.
269. When a dhtu is followed by a Ka-dhtuka pratyaya, ap is inserted.
270. The last letter of a dhtu takes Govinda before the pratyayas.
I. A-dvaya does not take Govinda. Only the as take Govindas (116).
II. Bh, sattym be, become, exist etc.
Bh, Acyuta (1P) kart-vcya:
bh + tip (269) bh + {}a{p} + ti{p} (270) bho + a + ti (52) bhavati (he is)
bh + tas (269) bh + {}a{p} + tas (270) bho + a + tas (52, 93) bhavata (they two are)
III. Other examples of Acyuta kart-vcya:
a) ji, jaye (1P) conquer
ji + tip (269) ji + {}a{p} + ti{p} (270) je + a + ti (51)jayati (he conquers)
b) rak{a}, plane (1P) protect
rak + tip (269) rak + {}a{p} + ti{p} rak + a + ti rakati (he protects)
c) gai, abde (1P) sing

d) sm, cintayan (1P) remember
sm + tip (269) sm + {}a{p} + ti{p} (270) smarati
270a. Any Ka-dhtuka which is not Pthu must be considered Nirgua.
I. According to 262 {}a{p} is Ka-dhtuka, because it is also Pthu it is not Nirgua.
271. A-Rma is Hara before e or a, but not at Viupadnta.
I. Bh + anti (269) bh + {}a{p} + anti (270) bho + a + anti (271) bho + anti (52) bhavanti (they are)

II. Ya{k} is Kapila and therefore also Kasri.
274. There is no Govinda or Vindra of a when the dhtu is followed by Kasari.
I. This sutra modifies 270.
II. The dhatu bh, sattym (1P) be, exist, become etc., used in the examples until now is an akarmaka dhtu
(intransitive verb), therefore it cannot be used in karma-vcya, or passive voice. The example in karma-vcya
given here correspond to another dhtu (bh, prptau (1U) obtain) which is transitive (sakarmaka), and
belongs to the tenth class.
