on the authorship of namakkaara.tiikaa

Hi!Jim and others
I have been silent for a while because I have been enquiring about
the authorship of namakkaara.tiikaa. Yes, it was written by a senior
monk of Burma. His title was Ven. Revataabhiva.masa and he was the
first abbot of Nyaung Yan Pali University, Mo Gaung Monastic Complex,
Mandalay, Myanmar (Burma). He was the chairman of the Sixth Buddhist
Council held in Burma. But he passed away while the Sixth Buddhist
Council was still in progress and was succeeded by another senior
monk.
I have got even a phone number of that monastery if you wish for
further information but I'm afraid you would have to search for an
interpreter that can speak Burmese for the monks residing there spead
little English.

Ven. Pandita
