12. "Ath'assa majjhimayaame atikkante apubba.m acarima.m akkhiini
c'eva kilesaa ca pabhijji.msu." [Ibid.]

and surely the passions were destroyed."

Yattha-.t-.thito mucceyya paapakammaa." [Dhp.v.127]

YP: "That spot in the world is not known
situated where evil deed would be released."

YP: vijjati (passive of vindati) is found, is known, exists.

14. "Tam ena.m jano disvaa eva.m vadeyya: Ambho, kim ev'ida.m
hariiyati ja~n~na-ja~n~na.m viyaa ti?" [M.i,30]

YP: "That one person would see and say thus: 'Hello, just what (is)
this (being) carried like an agreeable thing?'"

YP: ev'ida.m = eva ida.m: just this.
YP: hariiyati (passive of harati) is carried.

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

N: Comparing to PTS, I think ta.m ena.m is not an attribute of jano,
but refers to what precedes, a bowl containing a carcas. : <People on
seeing it, would say: �Just look, what is this that has been brought
back like a very lovely thing?�>

16. "Atha te... manussasaddo viya suyyati, jaanissaama nan ti
saddaanusaarena gantvaa ta.m purisa.m disvaa 'yakkho bhavissatii'ti
bhiitaa sare sannayhi.msu." [J.iv,160]

YP: "Thereupon, they... 'like human voices is heard, we shall know
it', went by following the voice, saw that man and, (being)
frightened, arranged the (bows and) arrows, '(he) will become a
monster'."


N: I would like to just add: thinking, '(he) will become a yakkha'.
