भुशुण्डि रामायण (काकभुशुण्डि एवं गरुड़ संवाद - पूर्वखण्ड सविस्तार व्याख्या)

...`
Let's read character by character:

1. त (ta)
2. स्मि (smi)
3. न् (n)
   space
4. मा (mā)
5. ने (ne)
   space
6. स्व (sva)
7. स्व (sva)
8. रू (rū)
9. प (pa)
10. न् (n) -- wait, is it न्?
11. ति (ti) -- wait! Look at the top!
    Is there an 'i' matra?
    Look at the vertical line with a hook to the left:
    Wait, that is an 'i' matra!
    Wait, whose 'i' matra?
    Does it go over 'त' or 'प'?
    Wait! Look at the character:
    It is: प (pa) then 'न्' then 'ति'?
    Wait, look at 'न्ति' in 'शान्ति', 'ददन्ति', 'यान्ति'.
    In Devanagari, 'न्' + 'त' + 'ि' is written with the 'i' matra on the left, covering 'न्' and 'त': 'न्ति'!
    Does that glyph look EXACTLY like 'न्ति'?
    Wait, let's look at the loop:
    It has a vertical line on the left, an arch at the top, going over 'न्' and... wait!
    No, look at: स्वस्वरूपन्तिधाय
