JatakaA

Dear Friends,

If you don't mind, I will probably have many questions similar to the last one
about a.d.da for this list.  I already have a few that have passed by without
any answers (not thinking to come here to ask them):

---------------------------------------------------

1)

raajaa ta.m katha.m sutvaava tu.t.thacitto hutvaa senaka.m pakkosaapetvaa
tamattha.m aarocetvaa ''ki.m, aacariya, aanema pa.n.dita''nti pucchi.

so laabha.m maccharaayanto ''mahaaraaja, saalaadiina.m kaaraapitamattena
pa.n.dito naama na hoti, yo koci etaani kaareti, appamattaka.m eta''nti aaha.

so tassa katha.m sutvaa ***''bhavitabbamettha kaara.nenaa''ti*** tu.nhii hutvaa
''tattheva vasanto pa.n.dita.m viima.msatuu''ti amaccassa duuta.m pa.tipesesi.

The problem is with ''bhavitabbamettha kaara.nenaa''ti. I think it is the king
thinking to himself: "it must neccessarily be so." Is this correct?

---------------------------------------------------

2)

eko seno ***suunaphalakato*** ma.msapesi.m gahetvaa aakaasa.m pakkhandi.

What is the meaning of suunaphalakato?  phalaka is a board or plank, but a
swollen one? :D

3)

''go.naa.d.da.m naama, mahaaraaja, ye keci vinicchinanti, aagamehi taavaa''ti
vutte raajaa majjhatto hutvaa puna tatheva saasana.m pesesi. *sabba.t.thaanesupi
eva.m veditabba.m. ito para.m pana uddaanamattameva vibhajitvaa dassayissaamaati.

The first part is the conversation between the king and Senaka, which is almost
the same in every paragraph.  The second part, starting with the asterisk, must
of course be a commentator's note, but a) why are they stuck together, and b)
why does it look like there is a quote mark on the end of dassayissaama (the
"ti" with a lengthened 'a'), as though it were the king himself saying it?

---------------------------------------------------

Thanks for any help you might give.

Best wishes,
