Ven/Kind Sirs and Ladies



English to Pali #20: Buddhena devaana.m manussaana.m ca dhammo bhaasiiyati.



It seems a bit strange to me that "to gods and men" is in the dative. I
would have taught talking/speaking/preaching to etc would require accusative
objects, e.g.:

Buddhena deve manusse ca dhammo bhaasiiyati.



That is what I have seen in the book up till this point. Could someone
clarify please?



Kind Regards
