He has heard that the Piprahwa relics and other articles are now 'in charge of Govt' and that Peppé has been allowed to keep some for his own disposal. He has heard of 'false rumours' about the bone relics and therefore has a series of questions to which he seeks answers. He lists five questions about the relics and asks about comparisons with other Buddha relics.
