I mean "pratyagdantamu:lebHyaH". Ugh, we should agree on a standard transliteration system. I try to use consistently <:> for length, <s'> for the palatal fricative, <R, L> for syllabic "r, l", <H> for aspiration and the visarga (glottal glide), <.> for retroflexion, <M> for the anusva:ra (nasal glide), and <N> for the velar nasal. In this narrow transliteration "Pratisakhya" would be rendered as <pra:tis'a:kHya>.
