And what is before 'ऽ'?
It's 'प्या'!
Wait, why does it say "मप्याऽप्यनुष्ठानं"?
Could it be a typo in the original book? Yes! Indian pandit presses often have typos like "द्वादशानामप्याऽप्यनुष्ठानं" or "द्वादशानामप्याऽनुष्ठानं" or did they duplicate "प्य"?

Is it "मप्याऽनुष्ठानं"?
Let's look at the three glyphs between 'म' and 'नु':

1. 'प्या' (or 'प्य')
2. 'ऽ'
3. 'प्य'
   Wait, let's look at the third glyph:
   Is it 'प्य'?
   Wait! Look at: 'ऽ' then 'नु'?
   No, look at 'ऽ': it has the vertical S-shape.
   Then to the right of 'ऽ', there is 'प' joined with 'य'?
   Wait, look at line 11:
   "नामपि द्वादशानामप्याऽप्यनुष्ठानं गम्यते"
   Let's trace character by character:
   1: ना
   2: म
   3: पि
   [space]
   4: द्वा
   5: द
   6: शा
   7: ना
   8: म
   9: प्या (it has an aa-matra)
   10: ऽ (avagraha)
   11: प्य
