an3.156-162: one use of “blistering” instead of “scorching” as translation for nijjhāmā

Should ‘this’ be ‘these’ in the following verse???

"People now are seen and heard

and this are called by name,
but alone will the name remain
in speaking of those gone…" - Jarā Sutta

It’s these and those isn’t it not, this and those? The verse is talking about people not things.

DN 3, SC 17
For fear of diluting their lineage, they are sleeping with their own (saka) sisters.

Does this parenthetical saka belong here?

DN 4, SC 8
You recite and remember the hymns, and are have mastered the three Vedas

have

Hello,

There is a small typo in the Dhammapada translation by Buddharakkhita Thera, in the Affection chapter, the 7th verse in that chapter:

From lust springs grief, from lust springs fear. For one who is wholly free from craving there is no grief; whence then fear?

The word lust should be substituted for craving here.

In Ven. Sujato’s translation of DN 31, in the section regarding the five duties of a parent to a child, only four are listed. Arranging a suitable marriage is omitted.

Parents served by the children in these five ways show compassion to them in five ways. They keep them from doing bad. They support them in doing good. They train them in a profession. They transfer the inheritance in due time. Parents served by their children in these five ways show compassion to them in these five ways

“We won’t become indulgent, then we won’t became negligent, and then we won’t be vulnerable to the trapper on account of that bait.”

… then we won’t become negligent …

Again at # SC 6.28, SC 10.16, and SC 11.28.

DN 5, SC 88
When someone with confident heart goes for refuge to the Buddha, the teaching, and the Saṅgha.

Elsewhere in the sutta (SC 98) brahmin Kūṭadanta goes for refuge to the “mendicant Saṅgha.” Is the difference between SC 88 and SC 98 intentional?

Reverend Kālāma, have you realized this teaching with your own insight up to this point, and declare it having achieved it?

… and declare having achieved it?—Remove one it.

At SC 16.23 the same for Rama.

karl_lew · February 14, 2019, 9:30pm

or add a comma: “declare it, having achieved it.”

Robbie · February 14, 2019, 9:42pm

All three versions sound correct to me

sabbamitta · February 14, 2019, 10:09pm

This conforms to what is found in other places of this sutta.

Nessie · February 15, 2019, 7:24pm

In An 7.50 (german) there is a typo: “Keuchheitswandel” instead of “Keuschheitswandel”. This typo seems to occur only once. update: it occurs already in the database at palikanon.com (which has the same translation, but differs in numbering: it is “AN 7.47” there), and only once.

This lets make me the suggestion to run a word-statistics program over, say, the german database and check any miswritten word by the frequency/occurence table (I've done things like this sometimes in my job and for finding obvious typos/false links in the palicanon.com-database)

SarathW1 · February 17, 2019, 9:30am

Bhante @sujato this is not an error or typo. But a clarification to the reader.
MN48
I suggest inserting “right” for the clarification. You find this in other translations.

=========

‘Do I have the same nature as a person accomplished in (right) view?’ And what, mendicants, is the nature of a person accomplished in (right) view?

karl_lew · February 17, 2019, 12:31pm

It might be redundant to insert “right” given that being “accomplished in wrong view” would be such a contortion as to not make sense to most people.

MN 80 With Vekhanasa
7th paragraph "Such is the splendor of the self that is sound after death.”
Should this read “found after death”

======

Ven @sujato translation.

Take a mendicant who, going totally beyond the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception, enters and remains in the cessation of perception and feeling. That goes beyond it.
Idhudāyi, bhikkhu sabbaso nevasaññānāsaññāyatanaṃ samatikkamma saññāvedayitanirodhaṃ upasampajja viharati, ayaṃ tassa samatikkamo;
So, Udāyī, I even recommend giving up the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception.
iti kho ahaṃ, udāyi, nevasaññānāsaññāyatanassapi pahānaṃ vadāmi.

=====
I.B.Horner translation.

As to this, Udāyin, a monk, by wholly transcending the plane of neither-perception-nor-non-perception, enters on and abides in the stopping of perception and feeling. This is its transcending. It is for this that I, Udāyin, speak even of the getting rid of the plane of neither-perception-nor non-perception.

===========

Honer translation make more sense.
