SVARA MARKING OF UDATTA, PRACAYA AND SVARITA TYPES IN VEDIC TEXTS

In the Vedic Tests which are currently in use only anudatta (अनुदात्त) and Svarita (स्वरित) (without any distinction of its type) are Svara-marked. For example, this applies to the Vedic Texts of Taittiriya Sakha (तैत्तिरीय शाखा) of Krishna Yajur Veda (कृष्णयजुर्वेद:) in both Grantha and Devanagari Lipis. In the Vedic Texts there are no Svara Markings for Udatta (उदात्त), Pracaya(प्रचय) and Svarita (स्वरित) types like Jatya (जात्यः), Kshaipra (क्षैप्रः), Prashlishta (प्रश्लिष्टः) Abhinihita (अभिनिहितः), Tairovynjana (तैरोव्यञ्जनः), TairovirAma (तैरोविराम:), Padavrtta (पादवृत्तः), tathabhavya (ताथाभाव्यः). It is important to publish Veda Samhita, Brahmana, Aranyaka and Upanishads with the Svara markings of Udatta, Pracaya and Svarita types also as presented above. This would ensure clear-cut undertstanding of the Veda Svaras.
