The verse is admittedly obscure. It appears to state that bhavagga does not serve any purpose, as it is not going to materialize in the remote future (ito duure) therefore one should search (vindatha) in ones own body in the present life (vohaare).

Dear Dhamma friends

In Mili~ndapa~nhaa, there is a verse

na ito duure bhavitabba.m
bhavagga.m ki.m karissati
paccuppannamhi vohaare
sake kaayamhi vindatha (Mil 393(PTS))

For the last two pada, Horner translates as 'in the actual present, know your own body.' But in Burmese translation, according to my friend, it has 'find in your own body that should be called the present.' It seems to me the Burmese translation for ' paccuppannamhi vohaare' is reasonable, but the translation for 'vindatha' by Horner, 'know' seems to be more suitable. I am not sure, and would like to your opinion. Thanks in advance.

with much metta
