Dear Gunnar,

thanks for the quick reply and reminder. I checked with Alan McClure's
answers and found that jaya.m here is a present participle, which is
grammatically correct.

The line is citated from the Dhammapada (first line of stanza 201, or
fifth stanza of the 15th chapter: Sukhavagga), where it is written
"jaya.m" - not "jayo". I don't think we can change the canonical text,
but a grammatical analysis would be welcome.
