Dear Bryan,
Did you see Ven. Bodhi's translation of this? I find it helpful. As
to evam, I become quite curious. What kind of evam? But in all the
commentaries to the suttas many explanations are given. I am studying
now in Thai the commentary to the Anguttara Nikaaya, Book of Threes,
Niddaanasutta, all about the different kinds of kamma that bring
results. So, kamma is another word that deserves attention.

Nina.
