Dear Florent,

in retrospect, Part II is quite challenging, but worth the effort for
anyone keen to polish their Pali skills. I have started exercise 20
this week, plan to continue in the coming week, but only to complete
it the week after. ;-)

Here is my attempt on no. 11.

"Citte mahaakaru.nayaa paha.taavakaasaa
in mind / from great compassion / from obstructed
"(Far) from the great compassion, obstructed within the mind,

Duura.m jagaama viya tassa hi vatthuta.nhaa."
far / has gone / just as / his / indeed / lust for objects
indeed, just as his lust for objects has gone far."


metta,
Yong Peng.

I must say that I found the 2 verses from the Hatthavanagalla
Viharavamsa (11 and 12) quite obscure!

11. "Citte mahaakaru.nayaa paha.taavakaasaa

[in] mind / [with] great compassion / being not given a place /
far / he has gone / like / craving for a field
Being not given a place, with great compassion in his mind he has
gone far away
