>From 7, 8 and 9 we notice that ??? + ??? = ????? When two words are in
succession of each other, it becomes natural during pronunciation, that the
ending of the first word and the beginning of the next word will merge. Such
merging of sounds is called as conjugation
15conjugationsandhiH?????:
There were three conjugations already in Lesson 1.
1. ????? + ?? = ??????
2. ?????? + ? = ????????
3. ????? + ????? = ????????
Conjugations are logical and natural, aren't they ?
Word #13 is not new. It was there in glossary 1. There, it was just ???,
because it was in Address case, to say, "Oh God". Here it is in Nominative
Case. ?????? ???????? Hence ???:

Now you can write down two phrases in one line. By that it becomes a good
two-line verse, a good saying !!

Here it is how it reads -
?????? ????? ?????? ??????? ?????? ???????? ?
??? ??? ???? ???????? ???? ???? ?????????? ?
I am sure you will like this good saying ?????????. Learn it by heart.
In Sanskrit there are thousands of such "good sayings". Would it not be
charming and impressive, if you can quote them verbatim? And they are so
crisp verses, all pearls of wisdom !! That is one good reason, why one
should learn Sanskrit.
