    I take that to mean that <DEVANAGARI LETTER RA, DEVANAGARI SIGN VIRAMA,
    DEVANAGARI LETTER VOCALIC R> should display as a repha on a base DEVANAGARI
    LETTER VOCALIC R-glyph.

    ========== my remark:

    I take it that <U+0930, U+0943> (DEVANAGARI LETTER RA, DEVANAGARI VOWEL SIGN
    VOCALIC R) should display as a base RA glyph with a VOCALIC R glyph below,
    and should *never* display as repha on a base DEVANAGARI LETTER VOCALIC
    R-glyph.
