Re: "rokho" in Mahāparinibbānasutta

Dear Balaji,

thank you for answering.

Indeed, I can read only the Roman script and no asian scripts. In the
internet I find the Roman script versions

1.    of the Chattha Sangayana Tipitaka 4.0 from the Vipassana Research
Institute and

2.    of the the Mahāsaṅgīti Tipiṭaka Buddhavasse 2500: World Tipiṭaka
Edition in Roman Script. Edited and published by The M.L. Maniratana Bunnag
Dhamma Society Fund, 2005. Based on the digital edition of the Chaṭṭha
Saṅgāyana published by the Vipassana Research Institute, with corrections
and proofreading by the Dhamma Society.

The second version is more correct and doesn't have the failure of the word
"rokho" in the Mahāparinibbānasutta.

Is there any other Roman script version of the Tipiṭaka in the internet?

Thanks

Claus
