Jim,
I also recently came across some refs to jhaayino in 36., The
2nd Not Deceiving Sutta, Itivuttaka (trans Masefield). He has a
footnote raising many qus(about grammar & meaning). Looks
like referring to arahats to me here and in 38, the Thought Sutta.:
'the Great Rishi who, thrusting aside the gloom, has gone
beyond.......' I didn't know what a rishi was which is why I started
checking the pali. Actually I was looking at this sutta, mentioned
by Mike on dsg b/c i wanted to find the pali for 'delighting' as in
'delighting in an absence of ill-will', but I found my friend jhaayino
instead.
