[Advaita-l] Mahaan Sri P.S.Ananthanarayana Vajapeyayajee (Musiri Periyava)

[Raghav Kumar Dwivedula]

Thank you Ramakrishnan ji for the explanation of how when a vedic padapATha
'AB' is chanted in jaTA mode viz., ABBAAB, then the sandhi at AB, being
vedic, follows laxana vedic grammar rules, while the other sandhis at BB,
BA, and AA follow pANiniyan sandhi rules.
