So when I use this to parse सद्बुद्धि it produces the result shown in the 
attached picture.  The font I have shows a visible virama but there are 
only three syllables.  This is also the conclusion one draws from the 
rules themselves.

There had previously been a suggestion that in such a situation there 
are two syllables, rather than one. (See my email asking about that at 
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-i18n-indic/2014AprJun/0000.html) 


Is this the case? Is it different in Hindi versus, say, Tamil? I think 
this is currently an important question to resolve for CSS spec work.

Cheers,
