Sections? Groups? Verses?
[edit]The current article breaks up the 38 mangala into "sections" and then labels each section a "group." Is this meant to simply refer to the "verses" (each ending with etam mangalam-uttamam)? If so, for greater transparency between this article and the actual text, I'd like to change "section" and "group" to "verse." In addition, because some of the translations of the mangala differ from other translations I've seen, I'd like to include the Pali. Basically, I'm thinking of restructuring the table along the lines of something like (though, frankly, more attractively than):
- Verse 2
- Blessing 1: not associating with fools (asevana balanam)
- Blessing 2: associating with the wise (panditanam sevana)
Any objections? Thanks, Larry Rosenfeld (talk) 17:19, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
