Re: Mmd-p.t passage regarding Kc 1 (1 of 3)

In my previous message, I wrote:

I should have said the 12th cent. (not 11th cent.).

Early last year Florent translated the following information from the
Burmese on the title page of the Thanbyinṭīkā (a popular Burmese title for
Mmd-pṭ):

<< Written in Bagan, also called Arimandanaa in BE 536 during the reign
of King Narapatisithu, by the intelligent, very wise, the very
well-known Minister of Land Formation. He commented the book known
under the following 3 names:
Nyat (Burmese)
Nyaasa
Mukhamattadiipanii
He clarified the deep meaning and explained it, revealed it.
Editor: Paa.li teacher Maung Lin, ME 1275 (1913) >>

I take it that BE 536 (Burmese era) is approximately 1174 AD.
