This sutra follows from the previous sutras and regulates the use of
the sandhi of su (the suffix added to all singlular, first person
nouns. when u (the ith) is dropped "s" is the final form of the
suffix) in a verse with a regulated meter.
In Sanskrit sanskrit, there are many different kinds of meters, with
different regulations. This sutra states that in order to complete a
pAda (or correctly complete a meter, you may drop the su that comes
after sa:
example sa imam ---> semam
this is allowed only if its is necessary to complete a meter. In all
other cases, the rules that were previoulsy outlined in the section
prevail.
If it weren't for this rule, the combination in a verse would have had
to been as follows:
Sa: + Imam --> Sar + imam --(r changes to become y) --> sa y imam -->
sayimam -- according to lopa: shakalyasya, the y gets dropped --> sa
imam
but because the visargah can be dropped to complete a verse, it is
possble to use ach sandhi to get:
sa + imam ---> semam
I very much hpe this was helpful.
I have found that two books have helped me immensely in my study of
the Laghusiddhanthakaumudi:
Professor R. V. Potti's commentaries on the Laghu Siddhantha Kaumudi
( an excellent resource in malayalam published by Ravi Varma Sanskrita
Granthavali, Kerala, in three volumes)
and
James P. Ballantyne's commentary on the Laghukaumudi in english
published by Motilal Banrasidas

I am not sure where the Shankaraacharya morning prayer appears. When young, we
learned the following three vedic prayers for morning, before meal, and bed
time.
Morning (from Rigveda):
aum praataragniM praatarindraM havaamahe
praatarmitraavaruNaa praataarashvinaa |
praatarbhagam puuShaNaM brahmaNaspatiM
praataH somamuta rudraM huvem ||
Rough translation: As I wake up, I meditate on you oh God, who is all
pervading, repository of knowledge, creator of the universe, and full of
eternal bliss. Mai I attain perfect knowledge, and may that guide me towards
honorable conduct.
Meal (from yajurveda):
aum annaapate annasya no dehyaanamiivasya shuShmiNaH |
pra pradaataaraM taariSha uurjaM no dhehi dvipade chatuShpade ||
Rough translation: Oh God! May you provide us with nourishing food and bestow
happiness over givers. We thank you for showering your blessings over all
living things.
Bed time prayer (from yajurveda):
aum yajjaagrato duuramudaiti daivaM tadu suptasya tathaiveti |
duura~NgamaM jyotiShaaM jyotirekaM tanme manaH shivasa~Nkalpamastu ||
Rough translation: Oh God! My mind wanders in conscious state, and when
unconscious (during sleep) it still roams far and way. Kindly provide me with
peace and nice thoughts, so I do good deeds to others.

Hi all,
Could anyboy point me to a Devanagari version of a Morning Prayer of
Shankaracharya which starts like this?
Prataha smarami hridi samsphura daatma-tattvam
...
Below I have included what I've found on the internet. However, for a
beginner like me this isn't enough to figure out the correct spelling.
That's why a Devanagari version would be most appreciated.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Subject: [Sanskrit] nadyaH for nadiiH in epic Sanskrit
To: [email protected]
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Dear list, if someone has access to Oberlies' nice new Grammar of Epic
Sanskrit, could you please check something for me. I have borrowed this
grammar from someone in the past but do not have it now. I would like to see
the rule, or subrule, for feminine substantives in long ii, like nadii and
feminine participles like gacchatii. I know that in epic Sanskrit the
nominative plural can be nadyaH as well as nadiiH, but I can't remember if the
forms also alternate in the plural accusative, that is, whether it can be
nadiiH as well as nadyaH. I looked for this rule in the grammars on the shelf
in my library but was surprised not to be able to find it in Kale or
Macdonnell.
Many thanks.
Phillip Ernest

Madam,
Thankyou very much for the reply. The sutra becomes much clearer now.
If I understand you correctly, this sutra "effectively" seems to allow for
ach sandhi to be done, in the case of "sas", after lopaH SAkalyasya (after
r->y conversion by
"bho bhago...") which would normally be prohibited
because of pUrvatrAsiddham (if there is a need to complete a meter).
I hope I am right in my understanding.

Thanks for the references. I do have the latter book. Unfortunately,
I do not know malayalam; is there a hindi or tamil or english
translation of the former book? any other good commentary or reference
in hindi/tamil/english would also be helpful
Thanks again,
Shyam

Subject: [Sanskrit] sakrasya atithitaa
To: [email protected]
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
Hello, list.
I find what seems to be an odd expression in the Mahahbaharata vulgate,
Karnaparvan 60.90-1:
te vedhyamaanaaH samare saMzaptakagaNaaH prabho//90
prabhagnaaH samare bhiitaa dizo dasa mahaabalaaH/
zakrasyaa'titithaaM gatvaa vizokaa hy abhavaMs tadaa//91
I am specifically curious about the expression sakrasya atithitaa.??I wonder if
the verses mean anything like this:
The troops of the Sworn Ones being wounded in battle, O mighty, being broken in
battle, being put to flight to the ten directions [taking bhiitaaH as a quasi
causative, or perhaps the meaning of some verb such as the causative of vidru
is felt with dizo daza?], they of great might, becoming guests [lit. going to
guestship] of the Powerful [Indra], were then relieved of grief [lit. became
griefless].??
I suppose the expression amounts to the same as the common praapya sukRtaam
lokaan and the like?
Phillip
