I really appreciate your offer to contribute info. I'm sure you have a
number of works in your collection that I don't have and information from
them would be helpful and appreciated.

Thanks for your interpretation of 'setibha' (white elephant) which makes
good sense in the context of the verse -- 'owner of five white elephants'.

Best wishes,
Jim
