1. The Sanskrit alphabet, with its order, appeared from Lord Nryaa.
2. Sarvevaras First 14 letters (the vowels) called Sarvevaras independent controllers. They dont need
another letter.
a i u ( with line over it) e ai o au.
3. Davataras First 10 Sarvevaras called Davatras (excludes e ai o au).
4. Ektmakas Each pair of Davatras consists of 2 ektmakas (two entities with the same soul).
(Ektmaka means Ka, who expands into many non-different forms in His pastimes, like the rsa dance.)
26. Viudsas The Viuvargas excluding the Hariveus are called Viudsas.
(Servant, distinct from Viujanas because of their specific services.)
27. Harimitras The letters ya ra la va are called Harimitras. (The semivowels)
(The friends of the Lord)
28. Harigotras The letters a a sa ha are called Harigotras.
29. auris The letters a a sa are called auris.
30. Vainavas The Viudsas and Harigotras are called Vaiavas.
31. Goplas The Harigadas, Harighoas. Hariveus, Harimitras and the letter ha are called Goplas.
32. Ydavas All other consonants other than Goplas are called Ydavas.
(The Harikamalas, Harikhadgas and auris)
33. Stvatas The Ydavas, excluding the auris, are called Stvatas.
(The Harikamalas and the Harikhagas)
34. Rma To designate a single letter, the word Rma is used.
(Lord Rma accepted only one wife.)
35. Dvaya To designate a pair of consecutive letters, the word Dvaya is used after the first letter of the pair.
Eg. a-dvaya indicates the vowels a and .
E-dvaya indicates the vowels e and ai.

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
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
C. Viusarga-sandhi
79. Viusarga remains unchanged before k, kh, p, ph.
Eg: 2.42, 3.27, 4.11
80. Viusarga changes:
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. 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

Kati (only in plural):
kati + jas (or as) (39) kati
other cases: katibhi, katibhya, katnm, katiu
if num or Viusarga interposed; but this does not happen at the beginning or at the end of a word, nor in the

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.

273. In bhva and karma-vcya, yak is inserted before the Ka-dhtuka pratyayas.
I. This sutra modifies 269. Ya{k} is apavada (an exception) of ap (s17)
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.
II. Bh, prptau Acyuta (karma-vcya)
bh + te (273) bh + ya{k} + te (274) bh + ya + te bhyate (it is obtained)
Similarly: bh + se bhyase
275. changes to if it comes after Vmana a and before t or th.
I. Bh, praptau Acyuta (karma-vcya):
bh + te (273) bh + ya[k] + te (274) bh + ya + te (275) bh + ya + te (41) bhyete (the two are obtained)
Similarly bh + the bhyethe
bh + ante (273) bh + ya[k] + ante (274,271) bh + y + ante bhyante
Similarly bh + e bhye
