10.33 Of letters I am the alphabet a, which is the base of all letters as established in the Sruti: The letter a itself is all speech (Ai. Ai., 3.2.3). Samasika means collection of compound words. In it, I am the Dvandva compound; it is eminent because the meanings of both constituent terms are important.
