Cannot find TOC 123 to 532. Planning to be added later? Your translation is precise and easy to cross reference the orignal Burmese version.
Yes, I will add it when I am not working as a full time journalist. Right now my brain is fried by keeping up with current events in Southeast Asia.
Thanks for your interest in the translation.
