N: harana.m: carrying, pavattana.m: existence, moving forward. Comes close
to abide, viharati.

N: anu: again and again, I like this anu.
J: I saw in a message of yours on dsg dated Sept. 5th. that you were
>>> asking for the Pali of 'physical virtue'.
>>> The Pali is 'sariiragu.naana.m' (As 97) which could be read as a
>>> dvanda compound instead of a kammadhaaraya translated as 'physical
>>> virtue'.
>N: I had forgotten I wrote this, about taking of life of beings with different
degrees of virtues. <When physical virtues are equal...> sariira: of the
body, but I am not sure about dvanda compound, what is it? But no hurry to
answer this.
With many thanks,
Nina.
