Bharatiya Jyotihshastra (History of Indian Astronomy), translated by R. V. Vaidya v1.c5.24

v1.c5.24

I am of opinion that the ‘anusvāra’ (a dot denoting the nasal sound) need not be added to the last letters of the words ‘jethe’, ‘tethe’, ‘kothe’ etc. and I also hold some independent views on the question of orthography. My views have been followed in certain cases; but the copyists, proof correctors and even the compositors have become so very familiar with the rule of the terminal dot, that the ‘anusvāra’s’ have found their way into this book, even though eliminated in the press copy.
