Māra’s harp is of “yellow wood apple”, whereas Pañcasikha’s is made from the “pale timber of wood-apple”

SN22.122: Sotāpannenapi kho, āvuso koṭṭhika, bhikkhunā ime pañcupādānakkhandhā aniccato, “A mendicant stream-enterer should [also] properly attend to these five grasping aggregates as impermanent”

here and in sn22.123. Also changed to “properly attends” throughout, rather than “regards … in this way”.

(Unless noted, I’ve fixed all passages per your suggestions)

@Sunyo

DN15 has liable to ‘vanish’ and ‘fall’ both for vayadhamma

If it makes you feel better, BB in CBD has the same. I dunno, “rise and fall” is just such a handy idiom.

@Sunyo

DN15: tattha “ayamahamasmī”ti siyā, “would the thought “I am” occur there?’” Ayamahamasmī is very much like the common esohamasmi. So tl. should be something like “would the thought “this I am” occur there?” Which also makes more contextual sense.

See BB’s note 32 in his translation w/ comm:

The Burmese edition reads ayam aham asmi, “I am this.” The PTS edition’s asmi, “I am,” is confirmed by the commentary. Both editions have ayam aham asmi as the reading for the following section.

@Sunyo

Tl. has “developed and cultivated” but equivalent to ‘cultivated’ is not there in the Pali

Well spotted! Turns out evaṁ bahulīkatāya is in the phrase at SN, which I translated first. Then I reused for for DN and MN, without noticing that the phrase is lacking.

@Sunyo

Throughout: ‘abscess’ for gaṇḍā in longer phrases, in shorter ones ‘boil’.

use “boil”

@sabbamitta

Two different translations for the same verse:

It’s also at thag 3.13. Context shows that it refers to advanced and diligent practice leading directly to Nibbana, so use “meditates”, It’s in the future tense, with a more confident sense than the expected optative here (“whoever would meditate …” vihareyya)

Whoever shall meditate diligently

(Viharati is of course used in many contexts, and typically is translated more generally as “abides” or “lives”. But it is frequently used to directly refer to meditation (eg. jhana formula) so where the context supports it I prefer to use the more meaningful rendering.)

@sabbamitta

Two different spellings for the same name:

• Bhāradvāja or
• Bharadvāja.

use Bhāradvāja

@sabbamitta

in DN 16 says “not until they’ve learned their tradition”, in SN 51.10 and Ud 6.1 it says “not until they’ve learned their teacher’s doctrine”.

use “own tradition”

(tricky idiom: lit. it is “what belongs to our own teacher”, i.e. “teachings that have been handed down from a teacher’s lineage”. Normally these days we would say “that’s what it says in my tradition”.)

@Snowbird

There is a missing closing </p> tag at the end of this line:

Fixed with this:

add missing close p to ud6.2

@sabbamitta

ud1.9:1.4: “iminā suddhī”ti.
‘Through this there is purity.’”

It seems the second (double) closing quote is too much.
