Hi Martin,

One such passage that comes to mind is Bhagavadgītā 11.44: priyāyārhasi

You can look at Oberlies, A Grammar of Epic Sanskrit, which has a whole section on this phenomenon (pp. 34-49).

Pāṇini's separation of the tripādī is important in formulating his rules to avoid double sandhi, so you may also want to look into that side of things (although I can't point you to specific scholarship off the top of my head).

A typical commentarial response is to claim 'ārṣa' usage. Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa, for example, writes on BhG 11.44: priyāyārhasīti visargalopaḥ sandhiścārṣaḥ.

Best,

David

I seem to recall having read a discussion on instances of irregular, double sandhi (as in, say, vartate idam > vartata idam > vartatedam) on the Indology list, but I can't find it in the list archives. 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.
