Could you help me to understand this inscription at the entrance of a religious estate in Yangon :

မဟာဓမ္မရံသီအိမ်တော်ရာစေတီတော်

I'd like to insert this photo as an illustration about the Burmese writing in the French version of the on-line encyclopedia, wikipedia. I can just figure out some words as great, dhamma, house, zedi, the တော် suffix. so i'd be very grateful to any Burmese speaker who can translate the inscription into english an tell what ရံ , သီ ,

Thanks so much. ကျေးဇူးတင်ပါတယ် ။

Where's the photo that you're speaking of?

The inscription you've given is actually wrong. Wikipedia is NOT a reliable site for Burmese inscriptions. They often get the fonts all messed-up and they never update the font-type so people having the latest Burmese font can't read the stuff written like ten years earlier. If I could see the original photo, I'm sure I can translate it.
