[INDOLOGY] Sanskrit mnemonics?

[Krishnaprasad G]

There are n number of mnemonics in Bhaimi Vyakhya, luckily has the index
for same. For instance :writing रेफ in devanagari is always confusing for
students.
So here is 2 verses
*अचं दृष्ट्वा ह्यधो याति *
*हशश्चोपरि गच्धति।*
*अवसाने विसर्गः स्याद् *
*रेफस्य त्रिविधा गतिः॥*

*तुम्बिकातृणकाष्ठं च *
*तैलं जलमुपागतम्।*
*स्वभावादूर्ध्वमायाति *
*रेफस्यैतादृशी गतिः॥*
