Dear Friends,

I'm sorry if this is not in-line with the goals and aims of this group,
as I can see that the train of conversation is clearly in regards to the
pali as a language, but I have a question that has been creating
difficulty for me for quite some time.  Maybe it can be easily answered
by someone on this group?  It is a question regarding the Pali as a
group of texts.

I have two quotes that have been clearly stated by a highly esteemed
scholar/meditation monk in Bangkok as being "in the Paa.li", which I
take to mean that they are somewhere in the three pitakas as we know
them now.  But I can find neither one on the CSCD in either the tipitaka
or commentaries.  Has anyone any clue as to why this may be?  Here they
are; if anyone can tell me where they are found, I would be most
appreciative:

1. "Yen'eva yanti nibbaana.m buddhaa tesa~nca saavakaa,
ekaayanena maggena satipa.t.thaana sa~n~ninaa."

2. "Yaava hi imaa catasso parisaa
ma.m imaaya pa.tipattipuujaaya puujessanti
taava mama saasana.m nabhamajjhe
pu.n.nacando viya virocessati."

Best wishes,

Yuttadhammo
