Dear John,

thanks for the correction. You are right. It should be 'objects'
instead of 'murals'.

8. Tumhe diipe jaaletvaa vihaarasmi.m ruupaani oloketha.
Ans: Having lit the lamps, you look at the murals in the monastery.

Your choice of the word "murals" for "rupaani" is interesting. The
answer key did the same. Yet, the glossary in the Primer indicates
that "ruupa" means "form, object", as did a dictionary I referred to.
Where did "mural" come from?

Regards to all,
John
