Hi there everyone.
I am not very good in sanskrit. whatever exposure I have to it is in my school days when it was my third language.

I have a doubt. Most of the strotas in sanskrit have namostute (sometimes its spelled inamastute on the net).

I think the sandhi should be
namah+tu+te
And I woudl like to know exacty what each word in the sandhi means.

are both namastute and namostute correct?

A friend thinks it's nama + stuti (soem form there of). NOt correct - right? Or is it?

Thx guys ...

Sujata.
