N: padussati: offend against. pp: padu.t.tha
padosin: abusing.
appadu.t.thapadosinan: the person who harms an innocent person. Here: an
arahat, according to the Co. The Co states that this is the law of kamma and
vipaaka. He may be reborn in one of the four unhappy planes.
See the last stanza of this sutta. This is very clear. The evil deed returns
to the wicked one , like fine dust thrown against the wind.
Nina.
