Dear Nina

Many thanks for the answer. Saadhu-n-ika is a good solution. But, I wonder why Nyanaponika Thera translated it as 'of the present day', and there is no terms such as 'good', 'virtuous' in his translation.

Saadhu: good, virtuous. Ika ending is to make it an adjective (Warder p.
253), and the n is put in between. But I stand to be corrected.
Nina.
