Bhante Sujato’s simple translation works better for me. I myself use “so” in this way in conversation. It is quite short and direct.

So, what do you think?

Oh. Interesting. What you wrote is actually how I read Bhante’s translation. Upon closer look, I see that what Bhante actually wrote is “afraid of the danger of”. Maybe “heedless” would work better instead of “afraid”. Yet I also have to say that my thought did indeed go the way Bhante intended.

Thanks.
I did not notice “So,Udayi” for some reason.
Perhaps I was tired at late at night or perhaps SCV played “So. Udayi” as a separat line.

In MN43:

There is 2 versions of the inquiring monk’s name (as underlined).

Further down the text the word “monk” was used instead of mendicant.

Thanks. We like the translation

In Theragatha (2019 translation by Bhikkhu Sujato) there is an error with the text layout in book 16 (the book of the twenties) 2nd sutta in this book. Link here: SuttaCentral

Also, here is another error, also with the text layout, Thag 16.7: SuttaCentral

Headbands . . . chowries? (I can’t find “chowery” in the dictionary.)

Chowdhury?

Robbie · March 4, 2019, 6:44pm

Choweries occurs in the following context:

There are some ascetics and brahmins who, while enjoying food given in faith, still engage in beautifying and adorning themselves with garlands, fragrance, and makeup. This includes such things as applying beauty products by anointing, massaging, bathing, and rubbing; mirrors, ointments, garlands, fragrances, and makeup; face-powder, foundation, bracelets, head-bands, fancy walking-sticks or containers, rapiers, parasols, fancy sandals, turbans, jewelry, choweries, and long-fringed white robes. The ascetic Gotama refrains from such beautification and adornment.’ Such is an ordinary person’s praise of the Realized One (DN 1 SC 40).

It seems to refer to some fancy garment/accessory. Image for chowry:

Though derived from Sanskrit, chaudhuri refers to a chief. It seems chaudhuri doesn’t fit the context. Not sure about the Pāli though.

karl_lew · March 4, 2019, 6:53pm

Ah! I can certainly imagine a chodhury using a chowry to absent-mindedly whisk away the odd fly or mosquito.

“Everything this individual experiences—pleasurable, painful, or neutral—is because of past deeds. …”?’

What are the quotation marks referring to?

At DN16 (Mahaparinibanna sutta), first verse after Buddha parinibanna should be of Brahma Sahampati, rather than Sakka (SuttaCentral)

Parinibbute bhagavati saha parinibbānā brahmāsahampati imaṃ gāthaṃ abhāsi:
When the Buddha became fully extinguished, Sakka, lord of gods, recited this verse:

At MN141, i cannot found “association with the disliked is suffering; separation from the liked is suffering” in the pali text (SuttaCentral)

Rebirth is suffering; old age is suffering; death is suffering; sorrow, lamentation, pain, sadness, and distress are suffering; association with the disliked is suffering; separation from the liked is suffering; not getting what you wish for is suffering. In brief, the five grasping aggregates are suffering.
Jātipi dukkhā, jarāpi dukkhā, maraṇampi dukkhaṃ, sokaparidevadukkhadomanassupāyāsāpi dukkhā, yampicchaṃ na labhati tampi dukkhaṃ; saṅkhittena pañcupādānakkhandhā dukkhā.

karl_lew · March 11, 2019, 4:44pm

I would think of it as a clarification of “yampicchaṃ na labhati tampi dukkhaṃ”, which modern minds might not grasp.

@sujato

In the Mahaparinibbana Sutta we have an error:

When the Buddha became fully extinguished, Sakka, lord of gods, recited this verse:
Parinibbute bhagavati saha parinibbānā brahmāsahampati imaṃ gāthaṃ abhāsi:

Gabriel · March 15, 2019, 7:27pm

In SN 4.25 we have the three daughters of Mara
taṇhā ca arati ca ragā - translated as
Craving, Delight, and Lust

But shouldn’t arati be ‘aversion’ instead? Is the translation maybe commentarial or interpreted differently?

Brahmali · March 17, 2019, 8:18am

Guhaṭṭhaka Sutta, Snp 4.2, lists the Cammakkhandhaka as a parallel, but there is no such thing there.

Vimala · March 17, 2019, 9:41am

Thank you Ajahn. The Cammakkhandhaka is listed as a “mention” not a parallel, but your point is still valid.

Then it is not Snp 4.2 that is listed, but Snp 4.1 - 16 (so the entire Vagga).
Where exactly this comes from I don’t quite know. I went back 2017 and it was already in there so I suspect it was (erroneously?) imported from the old data. I will have to check it out.
The Cammakkhandhaka #44 is listed as parallel to Ud 5.6 #18 so somehow those two both got linked to the Aṭṭhaka Vagga.

Brahmali · March 17, 2019, 10:10am

Thanks, Ayya. Now I see what’s going on. The reason it is listed as a mention is because the entire Aṭṭhaka-vagga is mentioned at the end of the Cammakkhandhaka. So I think it is right after all. Sorry about the false alarm.
