>Dear friends

> I encounter a problem again reading U Pandita Sayadaw's preface to Visuddhi~naan.akathaa. I can't find a solution for 'muddaapita', according to the context where this word appears, it seems to mean (The book) 'was printed'. While 'muddaa' means 'seal' 'impression' according to PED, what is 'pita'? Thank you for your kind help in advance.

Dear Tzung Kuen and group,

I think it does mean printed, possibly here 'caused to be printed, had printed'. I have also seen this in prefaces. The finite verb form is muddaapeti, the /p/ being inserted as is optional with causative forms. So muddaapita is a normal past participle form of muddaapeti. I don't think you'll find this in the PED but Buddhadatta gives the word under the entry for 'print' (verb) in his English-Pali dictionary.

best regards,
