(3) Some sūtras prescribe that the name should end in a visar̥ga preceded⁵⁵⁷ by a long vowel (e. g. Āp., Bhār., Hir., Pār.). Āśv. only mentions that it should end in a visar̥ga, while Vaik. and Gobhila say that it may end in a long vowel or in a visar̥ga. These rules were probably based on such Vedic names as Sudās, Dīrghatamas, Pṛthuśravas (that occur in the Ṛgveda) and such names as Vatsaprī (Tai. S. V. 2. 1. 6).
