Dear Nina,
thank you for the sentence in the passive voice. I will add it to the
solutions.
In addition, can you check which of the two sentences I provided is
wrong. Both are almost similar except that
(a) has ... a~n~ne dhammaa gambhiiraa pa.niitaa ye ...
(b) has ... ye a~n~ne gambhiire pa.niite dhamme ...
The location of ye is not really important, but in (a) 'a~n~ne' does
not agree in case with "dhammaa gambhiiraa pa.niitaa", so I think (a)
is grammatically incorrect. What do you think?
The sentence, according to John (Kelly), is from [D.I.12 - i.1.28]. I
hope someone can look up on it again.
metta,
Yong Peng.

N: In Pali mostly the passive form is used. I could suggest:
(c) atthi a~n~ne dhammaa gambhiiraa pa.niitaa tathaagatena paveditaa.
perhaps ye is not necessary.
