Dear Richard,
My understanding is that this statement is not from Baha'u'llah but
was a quotation from Manakji's letter. Manakji wrongly believed the
Dasatir was an authentic text whereas it was probably written in India
around in the 17th century. Baha'u'llah does not attempt to correct
Manakji on this point, He simply proceeds to the question Manajki
raises. I plan to write a paper to present at the ABS on this subject,
but I haven't worked everything out yet. So stay tuned.
warmest, Susan
