Re: Ruupasiddhiga.n.thi ?

Dear Ven. Pandita,

It's good to hear from you again! Thanks for the useful information. I've
been corresponding with a Burmese bookseller about ordering Pali grammatical
texts directly from Myanmar. He's been giving me various lists of such books
that included the Ruupasiddhi-ga.n.thi which now turns out not to be a Pali
text after all. Your information helped me to exclude that work as I don't
speak or read Burmese (I can only read the Pali in Burmese script). Do you
have any suggestions or advice on how best to go about getting such books
from Myanmar?

The CPD bibliography does include some commentarial works in Burmese or
Sinhalese. Perhaps the reason it didn't mention the Ruupasiddhi-ga.n.thi was
because it was unknown at the time the bibliography was published in 1948 or
the information came to late to be included. I believe there is at least one
supplement to the bibliography inserted in Vol. II that I haven't checked.

Best wishes,
Jim
