आत्मा बुद्ध्या समेत्यार्थान् मनो युङ्क्ते विवक्षया |

मनः कायाग्निमाहन्ति स प्रेरयति मारुतम् |
+

सोदीर्णो मूर्धन्यभिहतो वक्त्रमापाद्य मारुतः ।
+

वर्णान् जनयते तेषां विभागः पञ्चमा मतः ।

पाणिनीय शिक्षा
+
+
the ātma along with the intellect, in contact with outside objects, inspires the mind to speak
+
+
the mind kindles the agni within the body. the agni further kindles the vāyu
+
+
the vāyu moves in the chest region, passes through the throat to the head (brain), from there it touches the mouth and comes out as Varṇa
+
+
the varṇas thus produced are of five types (कण्ठ, तालु, मूर्धा, दन्तः, ओष्ठौ)
+
+
=== Sandhi ===
+
• Every single वर्ण that is produced is a result of pure energy in the form of vāyu (प्राण)
+
+
• संहितायाम् - the अधिकार सूत्र for all सन्धि सूत्र-s
+
+
• Continuous generation/release of energy (one वर्ण after another) while speaking or chanting (पारायण)
+
+
• वर्ण १ वर्ण २ वर्ण ३.....
+
+
• वर्ण १ (पूर्व निमित्त) वर्ण २ (स्थानी) वर्ण ३ (पर निमित्त)
+
+
• वर्णविकार leads to सन्धि but the विकार obeys fundamental laws of nature
+
+
• if two or more energies are coming together, the system prefers an energy that is most efficient for that given combination (lowest energy state)

+
+
• सन्धि-s exist in the realm of spoken language. They make enormous sense in संहितायाम्
+
+
• In the realm of non-recitation i.e just plain text or mental reading, not only is their beauty is lost they may start appearing daunting
+
+
• To appreciate and understand सन्धि-s better we need to read aloud संस्कृत passages or recite श्लोक-s, स्तोत्रा-s
