The correct forms are (i) saMyamya/(optional)sayNyamya, (where 'yN' stands for the anunAsika 'y', i.e., 'y' with chandra-bindu). One of the 'm' follows anusvAra/parasavrNa rules, the second ignores them completely. (ii) vaMsha -- This one follows the usual anusvAra/parasavarNa rules, which happen to state "anusvAra only". Your difficult question is: What makes the first in 'saMyamya' an anusvAra/parasavarNa option and the second a simple 'm'? The answer can either be failsafe OR simple BUT not both! Here is the simple version. The anusvAra and visargasandhi rules are not applicable to most (but not all) pratyayas (terminations) that start with a 'y' or with a vowel. anusvAra example: 'viramya' (having stopped) 'vi-ram+ya' -> if anusvArasandhi WRONG: viraMya or virayNya 'ya' is a pratyaya and starts with 'y'. Ignore all anusvArasandhi rules. CORRECT: viramya visarga example: 'tejasA' (with brilliance) from 'tejas+A' -> if visarga sandhi WRONG: tejavA or teja-A 'A' is a pratyaya and starts with a vowel. Ignore visargasandhi rules. CORRECT: tejasA Some other sandhi rules are also ignored in this position. Elsewhere anusvAra/parasavarNa etc. rules are applicable. I have discussed the "usual" anusvAra rules comprehensively in a previous email (April 7, 2004).

Also, please check Mr. Ramakrishnan's mail; that has a more plausible statement.

She exclaimed: maa udakaih taadayata = modakaih taadayata. Some modakas ( issues of a kshatriya father and shuudra mother) bathing nearby heard it and came and beat her up! Next occassion while she was bathing with those ladies she started splashing waters on them. Noticing no modakas were around. they exclaimed. maa udakaih taadayata = modakaih taadayata. = mo dakaih taadayata = mah dakaih taadayata She forthwith got some poison in water ( mah = poison, dakam= water) and splashed it on them and they died.
