When it occurs as the second or subsequent consonant of a consonant cluster, it is transliterated va. When ব is doubled, it is transliterated bba. - Candrabindu before guttural, palatal, cerebral, and dental occlusives is transliterated n̐. Before labials, sibilants, semivowels, the aspirate, vowels, and in final position it is transliterated m̐. - When doubled, abagraha is transliterated by two apostrophes ( ’’ ).
