Re: 8 qualities of the Buddha's voice

Hi Piya,

The eight qualities are listed in the Brahmaayu Sutta at M ii 140.
Horner translates (p. 326): "... it is distinct and intelligible and
sweet and audible and fluent and clear and deep and resonant."
(visa.t.tho ca vi~n~neyyo ca ma~nju ca savaniiyo ca bindu ca avisaarii
ca gambhiiro ca nindaadi ca.)

Best wishes,
Jim
