Dear Jim,
My edition of Kacc-va.n.n is a 1905 very fine Sinhalese edition. I may have
overlooked Lance's questions because when I came from holiday back my mail
box was "overflowing." If you could please forward it I shall be glad to
answer his questions.
Best wishes,
Ole

I agree that "niddesakaarakampi" in Vijtavin's introductory stanzas most
likely refers to the author of the Suttaniddesa. Until very recently I had
thought the author was the earlier of the two Chapadas discussed in
Godakumbara's article. I have not yet read the colophon to Chap and your
noting a 1990 B.E. date there confirms the later Chapada. I'll be checking
my Thai edition in a few days. Do you also have an edition of Kacc-va.n.n? I
ask because I think I only posted the first stanza.
Thanks for your other messages which I intend to respond to after I return
to the cottage on Friday. Looking back through the group messages, I noticed
that Lance posed a couple of Kaccaayana questions to you on Sept. 13 but I
don't see your response. Did you see that message? I thought that you may
have missed it as you mentioned you'd be away on holidays. If you missed it,
I can forward it to you if you like.
Best wishes,
Jim
