[INDOLOGY] Double sandhi

[Robert Goldman]

Dear Martin and David,

One reason this phenomenon is called ārṣa is that it is quite common in the epic texts (the texts of the ṛṣi-s) such as, e.g. your Gītā passage.  There are, for example some nine examples in the critical edition (and apparatus) of the Uttarakāṇḍa of the Vālmīkirāmāyaṇa. 

Best,

Bob

If anyone could point me either to the old posts (assuming that they exist outside my imagination) or to some useful discussion of the phenomenon (does it occur and, if so, where; how is it regarded, etc), I should be most grateful.
