The sound called /upadhmAnIya is a variant of H ः used optionally before p ph प्फ्. I write it as Fp Fph ⩆प्⩆फ्.
It is created by rule kupvoKkaFpauca.
It is a fricative sound made by hissing air between the lips placed very near p प् position. If you say dreFp द्रे⩆प् backwards, you get German for "horse". Sort of.
It sounds like the "f" in German "Pferd", or like the "f" in Japanese "fujisan".
You can hear atha caturthaF pAdaH अथ चतुर्थ⩆ पादः said with an /upadhmAnIya sound at the very start of this mp3.
