>
> Query regarding internal sibilant-sandhi after the i-vowel:
> In my text-critical work on chapter 17 of CandrakIrti's
> PrasannapadA, I need
> to make a decision on whether to adopt the spelling visabhAgAnAM or
> viSabhAgAnAM in the phrase "visabhAgAnAM sabhAgAnAM ca karmaNAM" ("...of
> dissimilar and similar actions").
>
> My five manuscripts (which all are from Nepal) consistently use the form
> visabhAgAnAM (here and in the following passage of the text), that is
> without the retroflex sibilant after the i-vowel. In the edition
> of the text
> published by La Vallée Poussin, the form viSabhAgAnAm has been
> adopted/emended, which also seems to be in accordance with the internal
> sandhi-rules for the dental sibilant after the i-vowel (cf. e.g. Whitney's
> grammar §180 and §185a). Nevertheless, in his text-critical notes to the
> text, de Jong adopts the spelling visabhAgAnAm, i.e. retains the dental
> sibilant after the i-vowel, with a reference to the Japanese
> translation of
> the text by Wogihara, which is a source I unfortunately do not have access
> to at the present.
>
> Would someone please care to clarify which sibilant ought to be
> used in this
> case according to the rules?
