It is not in a festschrift, I am referring to the "Purete..."
one on the Saddavimala. Bizot also writes about possible
Northern Indian connections in earlier publications in the
mid-1970s. None are conclusive of course, but several
intriguing possibilities. Most of ritual use of the Mun Kajjai
is in Cambodia. There was not work on this ritual (in terms of
mss.) in Laos.
I have written some more on this subject. It isn't published
yet, it was for a talk at the University of Chicago in 2004.
It won't be ready for distribution for a few months.
Thanks for the reference to the UofT scholar.
Best,
jm
