Re: Step by step to using Pali resources

Dear Amara,

Thank-you very much for the interesting list of the 12 categories of
aaramma.na-s taken from the footnote of the Thai translation and welcome
back from Sri Lanka!

I'd be interested in knowing the original source of the list of 12. Perhaps
it is from the ga.n.thipadaa (sp? a kind of .tiikaa) on the
Saddhammappakaasinii. I tried searching for the complete list on the CSCD
but have found nothing so far and don't think I will as the term
paramatthaaramma.na wasn't found on it either.

I wonder if is correct to include pannatti in the following:

> 12. pahida-arammana       = the cittas, cetasikas, rupas, nibbana, and
> pannatti

I'm taking pahida-arammana to be bahiddhaaramma.na in Pali.

Best wishes,
Jim
