Hi Jim, > If the passage is in Pali, is there any chance you could transliterate the first line or two into Velthuis? We could try and identify the passage. This is my second attempt to post this... The text is the standard kammavaacaa formula recited by the sangha when imposing 6-day maanatta on a bhikkhu who has committed a sanghaadisesa offence. Kammavaacaa collections seem to form a very high proportion of the bai laan that end up in the tourist markets. Best wishes, Dhammanando
