Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

According to classical Sanskrit and Hindi phonetic grammatical laws, the core operational formula is "Litulashanam Dantyah" (लृतुलसानां दन्त्याः). This directly establishes that the consonants comprising the **त-वर्ग series () are pronounced by touching the tip of the tongue to the upper teeth, classifying them as Dantya (Dental)** phonemes.
