The reader will thus find both \*c\* and \*ch\* used for च, and \*ṣ\* and \*sh\* for ष in different contexts. - [Previous: c2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c2.1) - [Next: c2.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c2.3) - [Up: c2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.sastri-1955.c2.2) · Pramāṇa
