| Advanced Insightmṛtyo̱rmā’mṛ̱taṁ gamaya |मृत्यो॒र्माऽमृ॒तं गमय । The above is the correct rendering of line thrī of this chant. However, it is often written and chanted as follows in order to make the word amṛtaṁ clearer (so it does not sound like mṛtaṁ, meaning death). mṛtyo̱rmā amṛ̱taṁ gamaya |मृत्यो॒र्मा अमृ॒तं गमय । The reason that the a at the beginning of amṛtaṁ is dropped? By the rules of sandhi, the long ā at the end of mṛtyo̱rmā merges with the a at the beginning of amṛ̱taṁ. Since the first ā sound is already long/heavy, even though a short a sound is added to it, it cannot get any longer due to being at the maximum syllable length/weight (i.e. a heavy, two-beat syllable), and so both sounds merge into a single long ā sound. In order to avoid confusion when reading the text, the extra length/beat of the a sound of amṛ̱taṁ that is lost to the contraction of the sounds in sandhi is marked with a symbol called an avagraha ‘ऽ’ in Devanāgari, or a hyphen in transliteration. The avagraha always represents a lost a sound, and a double avagraha ‘ऽऽ’ represents the loss of a long ā when two long ā sounds are merged to a single longer ā. This helps preserve the original meaning of the word for the reader, where it may no longer be fully differentiable in chanting. It should be noted that though the usage of avagraha to mark a lost a sound is ideal, it is often not marked in Sanskrit manuscripts. |
