Re: Nyanodayapakarana

Dear Ole,

To come back to the ~Naanodayappakara.na. Can you maybe explain in more
detail why you think that the author of this work must have had access
to the material on which both Diip and Mhv are based. What kind of
material would it be? The Siihala a.t.thakathaas or some old sannaya or
gaetapada?
Is someone going to prepare a roman script edition of this interesting
text? Sinhalese scholars would be keen to see it. If the Thai author has
made his text digitally then it would be simply a matter of converting
the font. Maybe the PTS could contact him.
Best wishes,
