Dear Ven. Yuttadhammo and friends,

Bhante: thanks for your confirmation and Duroiselle's note on the
niggahita. I was wondering why the actual text doesn't tally with its
footnote. I will make the changes and include Duroiselle's note.

As for sentence #8, I only understand it as much as you do. Ven.
Narada might be thinking of something like that when he penned it.
Unless you have other suggestions in mind, I will add "(in order)" in
the third line.

metta,
Yong Peng.

I don't understand this sentence... Does it mean:

"(in order) to write, may the ministers see this letter from the
king!"
