Visarga is an allophone of /r/ and /s/ in pausa (at the end of an utterance). Since /-s/ is a common inflectional suffix (of nominative singular, second person singular, etc.), visarga appears frequently in Sanskrit texts. In the traditional order of Sanskrit sounds, visarga and anusvāra appear between vowels and stop consonants.

Sanskrit grammatical tradition (vyākaraṇa, one of the six Vedanga disciplines) began in late Vedic India and culminated in the Aṣṭādhyāyī of Pāṇini.The oldest attested form of the Proto-Indo-Aryan language as it had evolved in the Indian subcontinent after its introduction with the arrival of the Indo-Aryans is called Vedic.
The visarga represents post-vocalic voiceless glottal fricative [h], in Sanskrit an allophone of s, or less commonly r, usually in word-final position. Some traditions of recitation append an echo of the vowel after the breath: [44] इः [ihi].
Of course, the rules below are only general guidelines, as there are no strict laws of syntax in Sanskrit. -The noun-subject, if expressed, heads the sentence. -The verb-predicate closes the sentence. -The object is placed before the verb. -Attributes and other accessories are placed before the noun they qualify.
The Hari-namamrta-vyakarana is a Sanskrit grammar composed by Jiva Goswami, in which all the technical terms in the sutras are names of Krishna or his associates.. Sri Jiva's inspiration for composing this book originated in Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's explanation of grammar in terms of Krishna's holy names, when he was a pandit in Nabadwip. [1]
Sanskrit had a series of retroflex stops originating as conditioned alternants of dentals, albeit by Sanskrit they had become phonemic. [225] Regarding the palatal plosives, the pronunciation is a matter of debate. In contemporary attestation, the palatal plosives are a regular series of palatal stops, supported by most Sanskrit sandhi rules.
If the vowel sound is not explicitly indicated, the short 'a' is assumed. Diacritic marks are used to indicate other vowels, as well as the anusvara and visarga. A virama can be used to indicate that the consonant letter stands alone with no vowel, which sometimes happens at the end of Sanskrit words.
