Hello Kevin,

     Of the instances of "ṣr" that you have collected from GRETIL, the Ṛgvedic instance of ajuṣran is the only one that appears to be a genuine instance, while the other occurrences appear to be orthographic variants for an original "śr,"  rather than being genuine occurrences of "ṣr".  In any case, it is good to know that there is at least one genuine occurrence of "ṣr" in the form ajuṣran.

Dear Nityanand,

Here are a few items I found in the GRETIL corpus:

ajuṣran (RV 1.71.1c)
pariṣritaḥ (3x), pariṣrayati (1x), miṣram (Śatapatha Brāhmaṇa)
zuṣrūṣamāṇānām (Bhāgavata Purāṇa 1.1.13)

It could also in principle be found across a word boundary, when a word is left to stand with final ṣ (e.g. jyotiṣ rajas, Nirukta).

Best,
Kevin

Dear list

In Ulrich Stiehl’s list of 807 conjuncts attested in Sanskrit, the
two-consonant conjunct ‘ṣr’ (ष्र्) is listed as the 786th entry (third
from left in last line of page 4 of the PDF under
http://www.sanskritweb.net/sansdocs/mathe.pdf
<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.sanskritweb.net_sansdocs_mathe.pdf&d=CwMFaQ&c=WO-RGvefibhHBZq3fL85hQ&r=NqkhTuN1wmPpoGV7HfN9h9sjzhrforkotCX8AEc5N5k&m=I2YYnpny_JHcilQBv0xpTkUgPu2gNjPwORPDYANfhnY&s=HkqxA0_r_eDluRij4xM7zMHZVLLHzba0JOX-99c58Ac&e=>).

I have been unable to trace any word in which this conjunct would occur
in Sanskrit.

Prefix and infix expression search on Advanced search on Monier
Williams, Vācaspatyam, and Śabdakalpadrumaḥ yielded no result (except
for क्ष्रौम् in M-W which has the three-syllable conjunct kṣr)

Does anybody know of an example of a word or verse/sentence in which the
usage of this conjunct is attested?

Thanks, Nityanand
