End Notes

1 BJT, ChS: Appamàdavaggo; Thai: Dhammapadagàthàya dutiyo Appamàdavaggo

2 Thai: amataü padaü

3 BJT: nibbàõaü, always this spelling

4 BJT, Thai: satimato; -ã- in the text is m.c. to give the normal cadence.

5 Metre: we have to count the first syllable as short here to correct the metre.

6 ChS: omit ca

7 Metre: For this variation in the opening see the Introduction.

8 Metre: this is one place in the Dhammapada where, if the rule of resolution holds, then the metre is wrong, as this is not a known variation. Alternatively (with Norman, WD, pg 68) we could count the 4th syllable as resolved, and we then have pathyà. It seems to me that the former is more likely, the prosody having been disturbed as this line is the opposite of 26a.

9 Metre: we might have expected a reading pamàdaü, as the labial m is incorrect by normal grammatical standards, and, contra Norman (WD) it doesn't help the metre, which still has to be considered irregular.

10 PTS: pa¤¤àpàsàdaü

11 ChS: bhåmaññhe

12 Editor's note: Thai, appàdena, printer's error

13 BJT: parihàõàya

14 BJT: nibbàõa-

15 ChS: Appamàdavaggo dutiyo niññhito
