Padarupasiddhi

Dear Friends,
Just a note that while in Bangkok I found a treasury of Pali texts in
section 25 of Wat Mahadhatu library. Everything is either in Thai or
Thai Pali, but it looks like they have the whole set of four บาลิใหญ่
texts, along with some manuals and handbooks to explain them (one of the
head teachers there wrote a 7 volume set explaining the four texts,
which is currently out of stock). I received a free copy of the
Padarupasiddhi in Thai Pali (to compliment the Thai translation found at
Wat Doi Suthep), and Ven. Dhammanando, whom I brought to take a look at
the resources there, asked for and received what I think is one of the
commentaries to it - whether it was in Thai or Thai Pali, he'll have to
tell himself.
They also generously gave me a copy of the Visuddhimagga in Thai and a
very interesting nissaya translation (into Thai) of the first book of
the Digha Nikaya. All of the books are hardcover, brand new, and too big
to fit into my large alms bowl. In general, I think this might be the
place to find Pali grammatical texts (or to send donations for further
reprints, as the case may be).
Best wishes,
Yuttadhammo
