Re: Kaccayana edition

Dear Nina,

Thanks for your translation which I will look at more carefully later
on when we start to study the commentary in detail. Just a few brief
comments for now.

This is a difficult one for me too. I think it is a comment about
grammatical number and gender and 'samaahaara', I think, has something
to do with one of the uses of the conjunctive. I'm confident the
difficulty will be solved after a bit of research.

I'm pretty sure 'ajati' is a verb equivalent in meaning to 'gacchati'
which shows the derivation of the word 'agga'. We will need to verify
that the root is 'aj' though. There's a lot to cover in detail and we
will just be taking our time. I think our study will go along way in
helping us to understand the language of the Tipitaka and the
explanations in its commentaries.

Best wishes,
Jim
