c8.2
*N.B.*—(i) In the case ट and ड and त and द the transliteration till now adopted by many, ṭ and ḍ and t and d has been reversed in this book as more consistent with the natural sounds of the English alphabets.
c8.3
(ii) In the case of the nasals only the letters n and m have been adopted, without further modifications of these two types, to facilitate printing.
c8.4
(iii) In the Sanskrit spelling the strict grammatical rule of nasal sandhis has not been followed for typographical reasons. For instance, भवन्ति might have been spelt as भवंति.
