Dear List members,

I would like to welcome Teng Kee as a new member of our group. Teng Kee
is working on a translation of the Puggalapa~n~natti commentary. In a
private note he gives this comment on the 'ubhatobhaagavimutto':

<< Ubhotavimuttho is a hell term for me and my friends
(thai and myanmar monks)where we try to
tran.puggalapannati com for pts.There are not the same
for suttanta and abhidhamma method.Abhidhamma method
have two ubhotovimutto like the one in kitagiri sutta
and the other one in puggalapannti com.Every
samathayanika seems to be a ubhottovimuttho in
abhidhhama method but the suttanta method in
Visuddhimagga is Okay.But for sure an eassy of JPTS
said ubhovimuttho is not an original word in
tipitaka(by a lady scholar)is totally wrong. >>

J: I must say this is turning out to be a hell term for me too after
glancing through the PP atthakatha, mulatika, and anutika last night. There
are several interpretations and it's very difficult to work through them.

Best wishes,
Jim
