Dear Robert,

Thats an interesting point. Could you explain it a bit further? How is the
Pali Language connected with a new cycle? In case of this "universe" i could
follow, as many powerful devas achieved their state because of the punna
gathered at Lord Buddha's time. But how could Pali continue to be the
muulabhaasaa in other aeons thereafter ?
