Dear Nina, John and friends,

please help me on this:

the words "clung to" appear each time for the five dhaatu (elements).
At first, I thought it refers to some form of (mental) attachment to
these elements as permanent, self [... as is concluded in each
paragraph with Ta.m 'neta.m mama, nesohamasmi, na meso attaa'ti]. But
now, after five rounds, the words "clung to" seem to be out-of-the-
place to me, as they do not seem to fit into the sentence. Is my
initial interpretation correct? Thanks.

metta,
Yong Peng
