Dear Nina, Jim and friends,
I have now put the latest paragraph of the sutta online:
http://www.tipitaka.net/tipitaka/strans/stransload.php?page=mn062s07
I have also reworked all the pages in this section, such that
1. there is better presentation;
2. the downloading time is reduced.
Below is the latest compilation on the word bhaavayato. Please
correct me if there is any mistake.
bhaavayato [referring to A Practical Grammar of the Pali Language by
Charles Duroiselle]
ROOT: bhuu, to be.
Chapter 10
(§492) causative: bhaave, bhaavaya.
(§496) causative base/stem: bhaaveti.
(§441) present participle: bhaaventa, bhaavaya.m, bhaavayanta,
bhaavayamaana.
--> Choose 'bhaavaya.m'.
Warder's Lesson 21 (Page 169)
Declension of present participles in -ant: bhaavaya.m ==> bhaavayato
(dat./sing.)
[ The following is based on messages from Jim Anderson and Nina van
Gorkom. ]
Bhaavayato is a present participle derived from a causative stem --
bhaaveti. There are several variants of the present participle:
bhaaventa, bhaavaya.m, bhaavayanta, bhaavayamaana. In this sutta,
bhaavaya.m is used. The final word bhaavayato can be in either dative
or genitive case. In the context of this sentence, the dative case is
implied.
