वास्तु मण्डन (मण्डन सूत्रधार - गृह, राजप्रासाद, दुर्ग एवं नगर-वास्तु सटीक)

' (pu-shpa). In L8: 'पु' then 'ष्' then 'णि': wait, is there a second 'ण'? Look at the space between 'ष्' and 'ण': there's a vertical stroke, wait, 'ष्' has a loop with diagonal, then attached to it is 'ण'? It looks like 'पुष्णि'. Wait, look at the loop: it is just 'ष्णि'. Let's look really closely at "पुष्णि": Wait, is it "पुष्णि" or "पुष्ण्णि"? In Sanskrit, Pushan locative is "पूष्णि" (or "पुष्णि" metri causa). The conjunct is ष् + ण = ष्ण. With i-matra = ष्णि. It is written as ष्णि! Not ष्ण्णि. Let's look at the matra: the 'ि' matra comes down to the left of ष्. Then ष् and ण are joined: ष्णि. So it is "पुष्णि"!

वितथे वर्मबल्ल[बल्य?]रायुधानां भोजनस्य च ॥१९॥

• 'वितथे', 'वर्मबल्ल[बल्य?]रायुधानां', 'भोजनस्य', 'च', '॥१९॥' Wait, is that "वर्मबल्ल[बल्य?]रायुधानां"? Yes: वर्मबल्ल[बल्य?]रायुधानां. Exactly as printed with brackets and question mark.
