3.1
naitat svarati pūrvāṅge na parāṅge kadā cana
na vyañjane na mātrāyāṃ kathaṃ yogo vidhīyate
It does not sound on the preceding member, nor ever on the succeeding member,
neither on the consonant nor on the mora; how then is the junction prescribed?
3.2
svarasyaiva tu pūrvārdhe vyañjanārddhārddhapaścime
tayorarddhārddhasaṃyoge svaraṃ kuryādvicakṣaṇaḥ
On the prior half of the vowel itself, and on the latter quarter of the consonant;
upon the junction of their halves, the wise person should produce the tone.
3.3
antodāttaṃ madhyodāttaṃ virataṃ saṃśaye pade
antodāttaṃ vijānīyādudāttaḥ pratyayo yadi
When a word is in doubt whether it is accented on the end, accented in the middle, or paused,
one should recognise it as accented on the end if the suffix is acute (udātta).
3.4
antodāttaṃ nīcasvaritaṃ virataṃ saṃśaye pade
antodāttaṃ vijānīyādudāttaḥ pratyayo yadi
When a word is in doubt whether it is accented on the end, low-circumflexed, or paused,
one should recognise it as accented on the end if the suffix is acute (udātta).
3.5
avakṣepaḥ pramāṇaṃ ca ravo yaścāpyupadravaḥ
yamakaḥ svaritaṃ caiva doṣāḥ pañcārccike smṛtāḥ
Throwing down (avakṣepa), measure, noise, and also distress,
doubling (yamaka), and circumflex: these five are remembered as faults in the Ṛgvedic collection.
3.6
varṇā viṃśatirekaśca yeṣāṃ dvirbhāva iṣyate
atha māntyāstṛtīyāśca yalavāḥ śaṣasaiḥ saha
The speech-sounds whose gemination is desired are twenty-one:
namely, the fifth [nasals], the third [voiced stops], y, l, v, together with ś, ṣ, and s.
3.7
anusvāre vivṛtyāṃ ca virāme cājaradvaye
dviroṣṭhyau tu vinirgaccha tathaukārayakārayoḥ
In an anusvāra, in hiatus (vivṛti), in pause, and in a pair of identical vowels,
one should bring out both lips; likewise in the case of o and y.
3.7.p1
iti tṛtīyaḥ khaṇḍaḥ
Thus ends the third section.
