Hi Tadao,
<I am sorry, but I have to ask you a very simple question:
if marimukkh.m is a modifier of sati.m., then what would be your translation
of the noun phrase, and what would it really mean?
Parimukha.m is an adverb to be construed with upa.t.thapetvaa. As I have
suggested the term refers to the actions of a diligent attendant who watches
his master around the clock, cf. the expression mukhullokaka/-ika. The
causative indicates that the meditating monk lets his sati serve him
attentively (parimukha.m)
