Taṇhāvaggo catuvīsatimo. 49

 

End Notes

1 BJT, ChS: Taṇhāvaggo; Thai: Dhammapadagāthāya Catuvīsatimo Taṇhāvaggo

2 Metre: this line is short by one mattā.

3 BJT, ChS: plavati.

4 BJT, Thai: vanasmiṃ; in the text niggahīta is lost m.c. to give the normal cadence.

5 ChS: sahate

6 ChS: sahate

7 BJT: udabindūva

8 PTS: khanatha

9 BJT: nalaṃ

10 BJT, PTS, Thai: Nibbattati; in the text ī is m.c. to give the normal opening.

11 BJT, ChS: chattiṃsati; in the text ī is m.c. to give the pathyā cadence.

12 Editor's note: BJT, bhūsā, printer's error.

13 Thai: Vahā; ChS: Māhā

14 PTS: duddiṭṭhaṃ

15 BJT, Thai: sabbadhi; PTS: sabbadā; in the text ī is m.c. to give the pathyā cadence.

16 ChS: uppajja

17 Metre: scanning -o- as short m.c. However the variation 212211 does exist, see the Introduction to the Prosody.

18 ChS: bandhito

19 BJT, Thai: saññojanasaṅgasattā

20 ChS: bandhito

21 Metre: the vv.lls show how much confusion this line has caused, however this line is one of the variant openings (212211) discussed in the the Introduction to the Prosody.

22 BJT: ākaṃkhī; Thai: ākaṅkhaṃ; ChS omits Bhikkhu and reads Ākaṅkhanta, which is an attempt to `correct' the metre, but this variation occurs many times, see the Introduction to the Prosody.

23 PTS, Thai: puggalam eva

24 ChS: dāruja

25 BJT: babbajañ ca

26 Thai, ChS: apekkhā

27 Thai: Etaṃ

28 PTS: anapekhino

29 BJT, Thai: puna

30 ChS: Vitakkamathitassa; Metre: we should probably read vitak[k]apamathitassa m.c. Norman (WD) suggests taking the v.l. from ChS, but this looks like one of the frequent scribal `corrections' in that edition, and cannot be relied on as representing any genuine manuscript tradition.

31 Metre: for this variation see the Introduction to the Prosody.

32 Metre: this is a syncopated version of the variation that is discussed in the Introduction to the Prosody. Norman (WD) suggests reading khÖ, but this is unnecessary.

33 PTS, Thai, ChS: vitakkūpasame

34 BJT: bhāvayati; ChS: bhāvayate; in the text ī is m.c. to give the normal cadence.

35 Metre: the metre is one mattā short in the opening, we really need to re-instate the sarabhatti vowel and read viyanti- (121) as Norman (WD, following Fausboll) suggests.

36 ChS: byanti- .

37 BJT, ChS: esa checchati; the unhistoric doubling of the initial consonant is m.c. to produce the correct mattā count.

38 PTS: acchidda

39 PTS, ChS: pubbāparāni

40 Editor's note: I have placed mahāpuriso in brackets believing this has come in from the commentary; if we exclude it we have a normal Vatta line.

41 Metre: thius is an unusual form of the break, having a long 6th, but without the caesura which normally follows it. We should probably read taṇhakhaye to correct the metre.

42 Metre: We should read Sabbaṃ dānaṃ, which gives the Vedic opening 2222 , which is acceptable.

43 ChS: Sabbarasaṃ

44 ChS: Sabbaratiṃ

45 ChS: -rati

46 PTS: ce; ChS: ca

47 BJT, ChS: attanā

48 ChS places this verse in brackets, and then includes another verse (but still within the number 359) which replaces icchā- with taṇhā- . The other editions show no knowledge of this reading.

49 ChS: Taṇhāvaggo catuvīsatimo niṭṭhito
