Dear Rett and friends,

thanks for bringing that up. Unfortunately, 'saka' is never mentioned
in the book, am I correct with the following sentence:

Puññakaarii saka.m mutti.m labhissanti.

I will also highlight in the answer compilation that it is fine and
common practice to leave the possessive pronouns untranslated. But, I
think it is good to put them in for the exercise.

I'm not 100% sure here, but I wonder if _tesa.m_ and _tassaa_ in the
below examples might be an unidiomatic choice of words. It sounds to
my ear in both cases like someone else's deliverance or someone
else's sister respectively. Perhaps the adjective _saka_ 'own' would
be a better choice? Or some other solution, such as just leaving the
words 'their' and 'her' untranslated altogether.
