End Notes

1 BJT, ChS: Bālavaggo; Thai: Dhammapadagāthāya Pañcamo Bālavaggo

2 Thai: bālāna'

3 PTS: dhanaṃ m' atthi; Thai: dhanamatthi

4 PTS: maññatī balyaṃ

5 BJT: viññu

6 PTS: maññatī; the readings in this line, and in line c in PTS are m.c. to produce the pathyā cadence, but the fifth variation (vipulā) is acceptable, and has the most manuscript support, so there is no need for a change in the normal word form.

7 PTS: paccatī.

8 Thai places bālo in brackets; ChS omits atha. Metre: as it stands there are two syllables too many in line d, the vv.ll.s arise from trying to regularize the metre. If this is a Vetālīya line as Norman (WD) suggests, then it is a very unusual shape (cf. 119d; 120d).

9 ChS: bhuñjeyya

10 PTS: nāgghati

11 PTS, Thai: bhasmācchanno

12 Thai: muddhaṃ

13 Thai, ChS: Asantaṃ

14 Thai: bhāvam-

15 BJT: kataṃ maññantū; (ū is a printer's error) in the text niggahīta is lost m.c. to give the pathyā cadence.

16 PTS, ChS: mam' evātivasā

17 Editor's note: BJT, nibbāna-, against its usual spelling

18 Metre: note that -br- does not make position here, which is very unusual for br in medial position.

19 ChS: Bālavaggo pañcamo niṭṭhito
