Another important matter affecting the prosody of the text is the inclusion of svarabhakti<br />
vowels (broken or partial vowels), which are written in the text, but are normally ignored<br />
when reciting. We find svarabhakti vowels in the following words (here and in the text<br />
itself I mark svarabhakti vowels with superscript):<br />
[a]nupariyagu 247b<br />

7 The 1st and 3rd of these appear to have no metrical reason for the simplification of the cluster.
