ङ्यापोः संज्ञाछन्दसोर् बहुलम् ६।३।६३( ६२ )

ङ्यन्तस्य आबन्तस्य च संज्ञाछन्दसोः बहुलं ह्रस्वो भवति। ङ्यन्तस्य संज्ञायाम् रेवतिपुत्रः। रोहिणिपुत्रः। भरणिपुत्रः। न च भवति। नान्दीकरः। नान्दीघोषः। नान्दीविशालः।  

(from Kashika)

Hope this points to further examples of the optional short or long vowel when ङ्यन्त or आबन्त is the non-final component of a compound, and is followed by an उत्तरपद . I forget whether बहुलम् means more frequently or equally likely to be ह्रस्व.

This sUtra is relevant for सरस्वतिपाद  but not for "दयानन्द-सरस्वती" I take it that is always written ending with the long vowel.

Dear Madhav,

I have lost track of the reactions to your question.  Maybe someone has already drawn your attention to compounds like Kālidāsa, Lakṣmivardhana, etc. discussed in Wackernagel and Debrunner, Altindische Grammatik, Band II, 2, pp. 304-6. If not, I do hereby.

Onderwerp: [INDOLOGY] Question on Sarasvati as a masculine title

Dear Colleagues,

     This morning I came across this book, where the author's name is given as प्रबोधानन्दसरस्वतिपाद, where the word "sarasvati" occurs with a short "i".  This "sarasvatī", as well as "Bhāratī" is added in the title of many Sannyasins.  Sometimes I see the titles with a long "ī", and here is an instance of a short "i".  I am wondering as to what is the common practice and the grammar of that practice, especially since normally feminine expressions are being used in male titles.  Any suggestions?
