Subject: [Pali] What month is this in Pali?
Dear Friends,
we're making some ordination certificates for the new novices and one
monk here. I am trying to write the date in Pali, would this be correct?
27th March 2006 = Hemantotumhi citta-maase terasame divase
pubba.nhasamaye/ majjhantikasamaye/ saayanhasamaye divasabhaage
dvesahassa-pañcasaatika-cattaaliisatim-atthe buddhavasse iti.
(In the winter season, in the month of Phagguna on the thirteenth day
in the morning/ midday/ evening part of the day, in the
two-thousand-five-hundred-and-forty-eigth year [since the final
extinguishment] of the Awakened one.)
I'm particularly not sure about whether this is Phagguna or Citta
maasa: does the new month begin on the new moon or on the full moon?
Thanks, Bhikkhu Santi.
