रिङ्शॱयग्लिङ्क्षु ONPANINI 74028

Replace R ऋ with riG रिङ् before /za, /yak, soft /liG.

This works only when the root has one consonant before the R ऋ. Otherwise, guNortisaMy... > makes ar अर्.

Example with /yak —

kR कृ + /yak
→ !**kriya- क्रियॱ by this rule

as in

kR कृ + objectshowing /laT /ta
→ **kriya- क्रियॱ + /laT /ta
→ kriya- क्रियॱ + /te'''
→ !**kriyate क्रियते "is being made"

Examples with /za —

/AG + dR दृ + /laT /ta
→ /AG + dR दृ + /za + /te'''
→ Adri आद्रि + /za + te ते by this rule
→ Adriy आद्रिय् + /za + te ते by aciznudhAt...
→ !**Adriyate आद्रियते "pays respect"

dhR धृ → !**Adhriyate आध्रियते "is contained in", same steps as above.

Examples with soft /liG —

bhR भृ + soft liG /ta
→ bhR भृ + **yAt' यात्ऽ (which is yAs यास् + /t''')
→ !**bhriyAt भ्रियात् by riGza रिङ्श.

kR कृ + soft /liG /ta
→ kR कृ + **yAt' यात्ऽ
→ !**kriyAt क्रियात् "may he do"

Coulson says in chapter 11 "R becomes ri रि after a single consonant, ar अर् after two". For ar अर् examples, see **smaryate स्मर्यते.

Why "soft liG"?

When the /liG is hard —

kR कृ + hard liG /ta
→ kR कृ + **yAt यात्
→ **kuryAt कुर्यात् "he would do"

No, I meant to say, if the original sUtra just says "before /liG", why did you translate "before soft liG"?

Because this rule, by inheritance, will only apply when the /liG is soft and starts with y य्. Such a /liG must have /yAsuT. So, only the flat soft liG endings will trigger this sUtra.
