Dear Bryan,
Thank you very much for pointing this out.
I did not take the four vibhūtas as genetive tappurisa, but as
(Avadhāraṇa) Kammadhāraya. The first component of the four compounds seem
to stand on their own effectively. Hence, I had in mind 'vibhūta that is
ñāta', 'vibhūta that is tīraṇa' and so on. In this way, it seems to
me redundant, in English expression, to translate both terms in such a long
explanation.
With mettā,
Chanida
