Dear Bhante,

These are related to the topic of "sandhaa- / sandhyaa-vacana / bhaa.syaa".
I have recently finished a translation of the Mahayana
Maha-parinirvana-sutra where this concept of double / implicit meaning is
central to the doctrinal position taken by this sutra. In the last two
chapters, a number of Udaana-varga verses are quoted and discussed in this
manner.

Best wishes,
Stephen Hodge
