[INDOLOGY] Accented Rg-veda manuscripts with double svarita

[Harry Spier]

Dear list members,
I've been asked to provide a manuscript image of the ādigayatrī mantra from
the ṛgveda that shows the accents. I can find images of accented Rgvedas
online but they all have the accents anudatta and svarita. None I could
find had the double svarita accent. All svarita accents were marked with
the single svarita accent mark , a single vertical line.

But if you look at this video comparing the Shringeri, Kanchi and Varanasi
styles of reciting the ādigayatrī mantra,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQ2nYFnMiQk
At 1:37 it shows that the  ādigayatrī  mantra is pronounced with some
double svarita accents.
See below:

1) Do ṛgveda manuscripts (or any vedic manuscripts) exist that have the
double svarita marked.  I had assumed this was the case because double
svarita is in the  unicode vedic extensions block.

2) Do ṛgveda manuscripts in scripts other than devanagari mark the accent.

Many thanks,
Harry Spier
