Dear John and friends,

thanks for filling in the information on the verbs, John. Thanks also
for the corrections, and explaining the functions of the ordinals. It
is interesting each part is counted as one sutta although it seems the
Buddha said all of them in a single session.

metta,
Yong Peng.

The "pa.thama.m" is not part of the text, but is just a convention used
to indicate the end of the first sutta in the vagga.
