Dear list members,

 

In Yogaraja's commentary on the Paramarthasara (KSTS series vol. 7, bottom

of the page) there is the the phrase -- atha ca " zAntaM " zakArasyAnte

yanmUrdhanyarUpam tataH paraM --

 

Which I thought meant something like:

-- In the word "zAntaM " the letter next to "zA" [ i.e. "na"] because it is

of type mUrdhanya represents [symbolically] the highest. --

 

But the letter nakAra is of type dantya and not of type mUrdhanya. Is the

letter nakAra in fact being called type mUrdhanya in the sentence? And if

so, can anyone explain that.

 

Many thanks,

Harry
