Dear Yong Peng,

I noticed two slight typographical errors in your translation of the
following:

> 14. Gu.navanto sadaa pañca siilaani ca a.t.thamiya.m
> catuddasiya.m pañcadasiya.m ca a.t.tha siilaani rakkhanti.
> virtuous ones / always / five / precepts / and /
> on eighth / on fourteenth / on fifteenth / and / eight /
> precepts / observe
> The virtuous ones always observe the five precepts; and
> the eight precepts on the eigth, fourteenth and fifteen.
>

"eigth" should be "eighth"
"fifteen" should be "fifteenth"

With metta, John
