[INDOLOGY] ळ in south Indian grantha sanskrit manuscripts

pattern when l becomes retroflex  and Anna Esposito wrote:  So far, no
one has been able to explain to me why the l has been changed to ḷ in
these words, and consistently in every manuscript (and also in the
printed edition).

I also don't see a pattern. For example this sentence from the
manuscript I'm looking at:

दळाग्रे हां सूर्यमण्डलाय नमः। Why दळा . . . but . . .ण्डला. . .
