Etymology and Composition

The word "anusamārabh" is likely a samās (compound word) 

formed from:

anu (अनु) – meaning "after," "following," or "according to."

ārabh (आरभ) – meaning "to begin," "to set in motion," or 

"to undertake."

Thus, the compound anusamārabh literally conveys the sense of 

"beginning in accordance with" or "following the prior"

. 

This is consistent with Sanskrit word formation where prefixes 

modify the root to indicate sequence or adherence.

Pronunciation and Nasalization

pronunciation:

• nasal consonant m

• Within a word, its sound may assimilate to the following consonant's 
• nasal quality. For example, in रामं (Rāmaṃ), the final ं produces
• a nasal “m” sound, similar to how the suffix in anusamārabh 
• would be articulated in proper chanting or recitation
