Thank you very much for pointing this out. The reason is actually
quite simple. When I looked up this verse in the CSCD (§232) instead
of finding "Yo'dha pu~n~na~n ca paapa~n ca" I found "Yo ca siita~nca
u.nha~nca" which I translated as heat and cold. I initially assumed
this was Buddhadatta's mistake but after some discussions with
Mahipaliha I realised that there were quite a few mistakes in the
CSCD, so I reverted back to Buddhadatta's version but forgot to change
the English translation.
Regards,
Florent

> In paragraph seven of exercise 14, why did you translate pu~n~na~nca

paapa~nca as heat and cold? I believe that these words mean merit and
evil.
