Cut.
------
N: I looked up Warder grammar, the dative, Lesson 12.
<The fourth or dative (catutthii, sampadaana) is used to express the
purpose for which an action is done and the person to whom something
is given ("indirect object"). The dative may express the person for
whom something is done or to whom something which happens is
advantageous ("dative of advantage") It is used also with a number of
individual verbs....>
It explains that <the dative is used with the verb (k)kam meaning to
please (someone=dative) and with the same verb when it means "to
forgive" (someone=dative, something=accusative). >
N: Forgiving can also be seen as a kind of daana: you give someone
else the opportunity to live free from danger or fear, bhaya. It is
mentioned as abhaya daana. Another spiritual gift!

With respect,
Nina.
