Dear John,

I do not have a copy of Warder in my library. The passage below, however,
does not correspond exactly to the canonical text it reproduces, namely the
Aga.n.nasuttanta PTS ed. P. 92. Cf. my note inserted below.

Best,

Ole Pind

yatra hi naama adinn-aadaana.m pa~n~naayati

(read pa~n~naayissati everywhere, 3. sg. fut.; yatra hi naama is almost
invariably constructed with the future to express either surprise,
amazement, or reproach or loathing; this usage was interestingly known to
the Sanskrit grammarian Paa.nini, who addresses it in his grammar),

garahaa
pa~n~naayati, musaa-vaado pa~n~naayati,
da.n.daa-daana.m pa~n~naayati,
in as much as / not given-taking / is discerned /
accusation / is discerned / false-speech / is
discerned / stick-giving / is discerned
Since theft has appeared, accusation has appeared,
lying has appeared, and punishment has appeared,

yan nuuna maya.m eka.m satta.m sammanneyyaama.
what if / we / one / being / we would elect
why don’t we elect one being among us

so no sammaa-khiiyitabba.m khiiyeyya,
sammaa-garahitabba.m garaheyya, sammaapabbaajetabba.m
pabbaajeyya.
he / for us / rightly-ought to be indignant / he would
be indignant / rightly-ought to be accused / he would
acccuse / rightly-ought to be banished / he would
banish
who would become indignant over what rightly ought to
cause indignation, accuse whomever rightly ought to be
accused, and banish whomever rightly ought to be
banished.

maya.m pan’ assa saaliina.m bhaaga.m anuppadassaamaa
ti.
we / moreover / to him / rice / share / we will grant
/ (end-quote)
Moreover we would grant to him a share of the rice.”

Metta, John
