Long Discourses 16 Dīgha Nikāya 16 - The Great Discourse on the Buddha’s Extinguishment

2. Principles That Prevent Decline

…

“As long as the Vajjis meet in harmony, leave in harmony, and carry on their business in harmony, they can expect growth, not decline.

Was that phrase in bold meant to be “live in harmony” or is it one of the vagaries of trying to make Pali map to English?

2

No. It just means when a meeting or gathering breaks up, it is brought to an end and the people involved in it leave.
