Re: sarabhan.ga-jaataka

Dear friends,

we can help Johan in a relay-race manner. I will do the first line,
someone do the second, and so on.

deva (m) divine being.
manussa (m) human being.
antara (adj) inside. >> antare (loc) in between.
hoti (v) verb to be. >> ahesu.m (aor/3/pl) were.

Devaana.m antare manussaa, manussaana.m antare devaa ahesu.m.
Between and among the devas were the men,
between and among the men were the devas.

metta,
Yong Peng.
