---------
N: ..an offence as an offence. The suffix -to can stand for an
ablative. To see something as something: the ablative stands for: as
(something).

yathaadhamma: comparing PTS it belongs to nappa.tigga.nhaati: he does
not, as the rule prescribes, accept a confession.

(the accepting of a confession is prescribed by the rules. Someone
confesses with the words that he will not do this again.)

23. "Dveme, bhikkhave, tathaagata.m abbhaacikkhanti. Katame dve?
Du.t.tho vaa dosantaro, saddho vaa duggahitena. Ime kho, bhikkhave,
dve tathaagata.m abbhaacikkhantii"ti.

--------------------------------------------------------

Du.t.tho vaa dosantaro, saddho vaa duggahitena.

The wicked one intending malice, or (he who become) faithful through
incorrect understanding.
------------

N:or the believer who has wrong understanding.

The commentary explains: someone who has saddhaa, confidence, without
insight. His faith is inadequate.The Co. states that he, for example,
believes that all the thirtytwo characteristic marks of a Great Man
(mahaapurisa), of the Buddha, are lokuttara, supramundane.
