Internal Consonant Sandhi in sanskrit
General Rules
1 Aspirated Letters
2 Letters from cavarga
3 Retroflex letters
4 Final n and m
5 Final s
6 Special Rules
Final s
A final s changes in one of two ways:
s changes to t
s disappears
s changes to t
The s in vas and ghas becomes t when in front of the s of a verb suffix.
वस् + स्य + ति → वत्स्यति
vas + sya + ti → vatsyati
जिघस् + स + ति → जिघत्सति
jighas + sa + ti → jighatsati
s also becomes t in some parts of the reduplicated perfect.
s disappears
s disappears when in front of d or dh.
शास् + धि → शाधि
śās + dhi → śādhi
So also MANAS+ SAROVER= MANASAROVER
*Change*
*Cause*
*Condition 1*
*Condition 2*
*n → ṇ*
Any retroflex sound that is not a stop consonant (*ṛ, ṝ, r, ṣ*)
One of these four letters appears in front of *n*. The two letters may be
separated by any of the following: vowels, letters from *kavarga* and *pavarga,
h, y, v,* or the *anusvāra*
*n* is followed by a vowel, *m, y, v,* or another *n*.
*s → ṣ*
*k, r,* and any vowel apart from *a* and *ā* (*i, ī, u, ū, ṛ, ṝ, e, ai, o,
au*)
One of these ten letters appears in front of *s*. The two letters may be
separated by a *visarga* or *anusvāra*
*s* is not followed by *r*.
