Upadhmānīya represented by a sign like the temple of an elephants stated by Durgasiṁha who remarks "गजकुम्भाकृतिर्वर्ण उपध्मानीयसंज्ञो भवति." Kāt.I. It is a voiceless breath following the utterance of a vowel and preceding the utterance of the labial letter p (प्) or ph (फ्). It is looked upon as a letter (वर्ण), but dependent upon the following consonant and hence looked upon as a consonant.
