Dear Jim,
thank you very much.

"refuting with dhamma" or "refuting with reason" are other
possibilities. I was unable to find "saha dhammena niggayha" anywhere
else on the CSCD disk but there is something that comes fairly close
to it in the Mahaaparinibbaanasutta at D II 104:

...uppanna.m parappavaada.m saha dhammena suniggahiita.m niggahetvaa
sappaa.tihaariya.m dhamma.m desessantiiti.

At Sv II 552, Buddhaghosa explains "saha dhammena" with "sahetukena
sakaara.nena vacanena".
-------
N: This is clearer. It explains kaara.na as a meaning of dhamma.
--------
J:I'm not clear at all about the
phrase "samaya~n~nuupamaahi.msaadiisupi dhammo". The "aado"
in "kaara.naado" indicates that there are other meanings of "dhammo"
besides the 14 given at Abh 784 and I would think that the .tiikaa is
providing some of those additional meanings but "samaya~n~nuu" etc.
just doesn't make a lot of sense here.
------
N: Or is the y a gliding vocal in between? with another simile? Not yañña,
but añña?.

Nina.
