Hi Dimitri,
A word difficult to translate.
What is your opinion on Vibhanga, Ch 13, Illimitables. It seems; everywhere,
in all directions. As I understand: with the attainment of jhana. Thus not
for everyone.
Patisambhidhamagga second division, coupling: Ch XIII: with unspecified
intention, all beings, they are all named, whatever being.
I would think that unlimited or boundless could render the meaning. What do
you think?
Pharati: he suffuses, permeates.
