Pali terms

Dear Jim (or anyone else),

I wonder if you'd kindly give me the Pali and any comments on the Pali for the
following (I hope these are short, simple ones for you;-):

  1.What is the Pali translated as 'consciousness' in M49 as in:

> "Consciousness without feature, without end, luminous all around, or

B.Bodhi translates the passage as:
'the consciousness that makes no showing,
Maj NIk, 49, The Invitation of a Brahma,24-26

according to BB's notes (513). He adds, "MA takes
the subject of the sentence to be Nibbana, called 'consciousness' in the sense
that "it can be cognized" '.

2.> What is the Pali for the words translated here as 'unrestricted awareness"
in:

> it, in the same way the Tathagata -- freed, dissociated, & released from
> these ten things -- dwells with unrestricted awareness. (A X.81)
>
or 'dwells with amind whose barriers are broken down' here:

>the Wayfarer is free, detached and released, and dwells with a mind whose
barriers are broken down'
Ang Nik, bk of Tens, 81, Bahuna (Pali, Text V, 151-2)

3. 'What is the Pali for 'trivial people' on Vism ref (anapanasati etc)


4. What is the Pali for 'Scholars and Meditators' in ANV1,46? I assume
Meditators is some form of jhayanti (the verb I think) and would you kindly
repeat what can be known about the Pali for the noun as I didn't keep my notes
from before.

Many thanks in advance. No hurry!

Sarah
