Dear Yong Peng, Jim and Dimitri,
I appreciate your help.

This, indeed, Venerable Sir, was our interrupted conversation when the
Blessed One arrived (came by).
I had been thinking also of no as personal pronoun, but did not know the
preceding text.
I have been struggling with anuppatto and with assaappattaa.
Anuppatto: reached or attained. I thought of an ironical use: the Blessed
One has attained the goal. But maybe Jim's suggestion is more plausible.
This whole sentence is omitted in PTS and they say in a note that the order
of the text was wrong. Printer's mistake.
As to the word ko: this belongs to dhamma: which dhamma.
assaappattaa: I only found saapattika: who transgresses the Vinaya. But if a
is negative, why the double s? It must be a sandhi.
Nina.
