John Kelly Pali course 2024: Warder lesson 22a

Regarding Lesson 22, para. 1 in the reading passage (Brahmajālasutta DN 1):

atthi bhikkhave aññ’eva dhammā gambhīrā duddasā duranubodhā santā paṇītā atakkāvacarā nipuṇā paṇḍitavedanīyā, ye tathāgato sayaṃ abhiññā sacchikatvā pavedeti, yehi tathāgatassa yathābhuccaṃ vaṇṇaṃ sammā vadamānā vadeyyuṃ.

Who is the subject of they would speak

vadeyyuṃ

Is Ajahn Brahmāli suggesting the wise in the earlier clause?

Indeed, monks there are other things, profound … subtle, to be known by the wise,
which the Tathagata … proclaims, (and) by which, rightly speaking, they would speak
the Tathagata’s real praise.

Ajahn Sujato solves it by breaking this up into two sentences, where the second one reads:

Those who genuinely praise the Realized One would rightly speak of these things.

Bhikkhu Bodhi solves it this way:

There are, bhikkhus, other dhammas, deep … subtle, comprehensible only to the wise, which the Tathāgata … propounds to others; and it is concerning these that those who would rightly praise the Tathāgata in accordance with reality would speak.

I see that the context in the preceding paragraph is:

… [these are the things] an ordinary person speaks of when they speak praise of the Realized One.

Perhaps I’m making a mountain out of a molehill :thinking:and it’s all dependent on knowing the context of the previous paragraph.
