Introduction Bhagavad-giitaa XIII 13
(Transliteration scheme: ITRANS 5.2) GYeyaM yattatpravakShyAmi yajGYAtvAmR^itamashnute . anAdimatparaM brahma na sattannAsaduchyate .. 13\-13.. "Simplified", more "scientific" transliteration, sandhi_s resolved: jñeyam; yat tat pravakSyaami yat; jñaatvaa; amRitam ashnute . *anaadimat param (alternative reading: anaadi matparam) brahma* na sat tat; na asat ucyate .. 13\-13.. Now, let's "study" the third line. Transliterated exactly as it reads in devanaagarii, looks like this: anaadimatparaM brahma That is, because of the nature of the devanaagarii script, 'anaadimatparam' usually (except in some books for beginners, or in otherwise "substandard" texts) is written without any spaces between the individual words. That means both readings (anaadimat param or anaadi matparam) can be justified.
