[Advaita-l] svasti vs. svastiH

[Praveen R. Bhat]

Namaste Raghav ji,

स्वस्ति has avyaya as also strilinga and napuMsaka forms in the same
meaning. What you are seeing is the declined feminine form. Apte dictionary
lists it so, with examples from Mahabharata and Bhagavatam.

Kind rgds,
--Praveen R. Bhat

That, owing to which all this is known! [Br.Up. 4.5.15] */
