Dear Ven. Dhammanando, Nina and friends,

thanks for all the explanation, sentences with missing parts are
tricky, and are not easy for beginners.

Bhante, do you happen to know what type of compounds are
di.t.thapubba and satthudhammo? Ven. Pandita says they are Tappurisa.
What do you think? Thank you.

I suggest (adapting from K.R. Norman's rendering):

"Know that to be so indeed: that is the first failure."
