Dear Nina and friends,

taking another step in the direction of the third proposed solution,
I like to refine it from

"Iti h'eta.m vijaanaahi pa.thamo so paraabhavo."
Thus, may you, he who is first (and) defeat, learn this indeed.

to

"Iti h'eta.m vijaanaahi pa.thamo so paraabhavo."
Thus, may you, the first one to fail, learn this indeed.

What do you think?


metta,
Yong Peng.
