It's been a long time since I've done anything with Sanskrit so please forgive any misunderstandings, but didn't Vedic ळ become Classical ड, as in नीळ and नीड ?

- FlyingSnake 5y ago> Vedic ळ There is strong evidence that the ळ came from Substratum languages (Dravidian or Munda) and many Indo-Aryan languages still retain it e.g. Marathi, Gujarati.
- KhoomeiK 5y agoYes but it's still present in Vedic, literally in the second word of rgveda 1.1.1.
- chakkepolja 5y agoVedas were not passed unmodified since they were originally written. Neither were the purānas.
