Dear Ven. Pandita,

Thank you for the information. I do question U Bodhi as the aurhot's name.
The only Saddanīti-ṭīkā I'm aware of is the one by Paññāsāmi of Maṅgalārāma
who was born in CE 1755. His name is given in the last page of the ṭīkā MS I
have (UPT499.1 folio 310a line 7). The title of the ṭīkā is given on line 9
but there is a letter or conjunct I'm not sure of. The title looks like
this: Sādhujjanapamo??ni. This is the first Burmese MS that I've been able
to get a close look at so I'm not familiar with the style of handwriting but
learning.

"U Bodh" is the name of the Nissaya author, not of the tīkā author. U Bodh wrote many books, but Saddanīti nissaya is his masterpiece, and has been published in Burma in (3) volumes. U Bodh prospered during the reign of the king Botaw Phaya, whereas the author of the tīkā, during the reign of the king Mingdon, the son of Botaw Phaya. (I'm sorry I don't remember the dates, and I have no relevant works that I can access)

with metta,

Ven. Pandita (Burma)
