Thank you. I hope that avyaya formation like you mentioned is the intricacy that the
author was hinting. Remember that line of Jagannatha Pandita that elicited a lot of
discussion -
"maarmikaH ko marandaanaamantareNa madhuvratam."

The correcterd version pAyastav cannot be correct.
It should be payastava only.
I think the grammatical perculiarity may be
sudhApAyam meaning like sudhA where after addition
of pAyam it becomes an avyaya. I am sayinfg this from memory. Similarly
nirjaraavaasam may also be
an avyayam meaning like in the abode of devas.

I am curious because the author hints that there is something special in the verse,
especially in the phrases - sudhApAyam pibanti� and �nirjarAvAsam vasanti." I wish he
explained.
By the way, the book I was reading said Gangalahari has 53 verses (not 100). The book
mentions the same legend about Ganga rising up with each verse and finally drowning
the poet.

I guess this is from the gangAlahari written by Jagannatha, a Telugu Brahmin. Story
goes that he composed standing with his love at a ghat in Varanasi and as he composed
each stanza the waters of Ganga rose up to cover that step. When he finished the 100th
stanza apparently he was washed away. (Will somebody correct the story since my
recollection is poor!) Also he had a moghul princess as his mistress and the erotic
poems he wrote are some of the finest in sanskrit.
I guess the anvaya of this verse is:
jahnuje! ye tava nIrapAyaM sudhApAyam payaH pibanti, te narAH bhuvi nirjarAvAsaM
vasanti
(nIraM = water, sudhA = am^RtaM, nirjarAvAsaM = god's abode)
I fail to see an intricate grammatical point here!

Subject: [Sanskrit] A Sloka of Jagannatha Pandita
namaste:
While browsing through a concise book on Panditaraja Jagannatha by P.
Sriramachandrudu, Professor of Sanskrit at Osmania University, Hyderabad (I don�t know
if he has retired since), I came across the following lines on page 74 (The author did
not quote verses in Devanagari, and ITRANS may not have been in use at the time he
wrote the book) .
�There are many Slokas (of Jagannatha) which can be fully enjoyed only by a reader
conversant with intricate rules of grammar like the following one:
Nirapayam sudhapayam payastava pibanti ye
Jahnuje nirjaravasam vasanti bhuvi te narah
O Ganga! Those men who drink your water, free from all dangers, as they drink the
nectar, live on the earth as the gods live.
Here the phrases �Sudhapayam pibanti� and �Nirjaravasam vasanti� are based on some
intricate grammatical rules.� The author did not elaborate beyond that.
P. Sri Ramachandrudu; �Panditaraja Jagannatha,� Sahitya Akademi, New Delhi, India,
1991. (page 74).
I think the ITRANS transliteration of the verse would be:
nirapAyaM sudhApAyaM pAyastava pibanti ye.
jahnuje nirjarAvAsaM vasanti bhuvi te narAH..
I am curious to learn what those rules related to those phrases could be. Would you
kindly take a crack?
