-------
N: Desa is point, part, place, region. In itself desa is not akusala.
PED: ki~ncideva desa.m pucchati: to ask a little point. Woodward
translation: some particular occasion of bodily offense.
In this context we see that there is question of offense of the rules
of the Vinaya, aapatti, through the body.

> Y.P.Anattamanavacanaaha.m tena bhikkhunaa vutto samaano anattamano

> words of displeasure-I / by that / by monk / said / being / not
> pleased / was
> Being told the words of displeasure by that monk, I was not pleased.

-------
N: Suggestion: I was not pleased when the monk spoke words of
displeasure to me.

> Being annoyed, I informed others.

N: I was annoyed and told others about it.

> Hence, overcoming me there, like one paying tax on goods was
> overcome."

------
N: suggestion: accaya also has the meaning of transgression, offense.
PED: accayo ma.m accagamaa: a fault has overcome me.
PTS has: So herein my fault overcame me as in the case of one who has
to pay duty on his goods.
In a footnote PTS explains: a smuggler has to pay duty on his goods,
it is his fault. Not the fault of the Customs-house, the authorities
nor of the officers.

himself.
