Dear Ong Teng Kee,
Thanks for the message.
I checked the Copenhagen catalogue you mentioned and checked also
Filliozat's EFEO catalogues again.
The Copenhagen MS of the Milinda-.tiikaa indeed reads pa~nhaa in the
title as well as in the text, but I wonder whether this is not a
correction or a mistake of the Sinhalese cataloguer.
In the Khom Milindapa.nhaa MS at the EFEO (EFEO Pali 58), pa~nhaa is
read in the title given to two bundles of leaves (phuk), however the
other 6 or so phuks are titled -pa.nhaa. So it seems the tradition was
not entirely consistent, however the other Khom Milindapa~nhaa MSS in
France and at Vat Po in Bankok, although they might be been given the
title Milinda-pa~nhaa by the cataloguer, read pa.nhaa in the text.
I wrote to Dr Filliozat and Dr Peter Skilling to get some more
information about this alternation.
Best wishes,
Bh. Nyanatusita
