Hi,

In 10, I believe "no" is "we or us" - although the similarity to
English no/not has confused me several times. My translations seem
awkward, but this is what I've got: "Good sir, thus should we do."


In 11, I believe "mayaa" is singular, so "with me", i.e., "If you
should wish to go with me..."

In 13, I would say "faith in you" rather than "faith to you". Your
translation makes sense - I had trouble with the loc. "me" and
dat/gen "you": "If, having heard the doctrine, faith in me should be
born to you..." but it never made sense why "I" would make "you" the
master because of that... Your translation clears that up!

Thanks.
