I hope it’s not as bad, Bhante. Without you I’d definitely not do what I am currently doing.
This morning I have been on the lookout for a show. When searching for a kettledrum I find it in 7 suttas: AN 4.114, AN 5.139, AN 5.140, AN 6.60, DN 2, DN 10,and MN 125.
However, there are also kettle-drums around: in DN 1, DN, 2, and DN 31.
So DN 2 seems to have even both sorts.
Some people in DN 17
DN17:1.6.13 Ye kho panānanda, tena samayena kusāvatiyā rājadhāniyā dhuttā ahesuṁ soṇḍā pipāsā, te tāsaṁ tālapantīnaṁ vāteritānaṁ saddena paricāresuṁ.
And any addicts, libertines, or drunkards in Kusāvatī at that time were entertained by that sound.
seem to be not the same in DN 31
DN31:12.2 Ye dhuttā, ye soṇḍā, ye pipāsā, ye nekatikā, ye vañcanikā, ye sāhasikā. Tyāssa mittā honti te sahāyā.
You become friends and companions with those who are scoundrels, drunkards, addicts, frauds, swindlers, and thugs.
- dhuttā is “addicts” in DN 17 and “scoundrels” in DN 31.
- soṇḍā is “libertines” in DN 17 and “drunkards” in DN 31.
- pipāsā is “drunkards” in DN 17 and “addicts” in DN 31.
Maybe I am too picky here, as there may be a certain overlap between the terms.
