Sorry guys. I'd better not even begin to explain. But in case you are curious, we ended up not buying the washing machine.

Regarding this hermeneutical puzzle: I thought Eli's message was a veiled reference to the famous TED Talk by Hans Rosling, "The Magic Washing Machine": http://www.ted.com/talks/hans_rosling_and_the_magic_washing_machine?language=en

We cannot be sure, however, that the Ajitasenavyākaraṇa was one of the books that Hans pulled out of the washing machine at the end.

I began to wonder about the connection between the Ajitasenavyākaraṇa and a washing machine ... until I realized that Eli must have missent his message.

But I'm delighted in the hermeneutical puzzle this will present to future philologists (yes, I used this expression on purpose ;)
