SV: sati meditation

Dear Eisel,

<Without reference to the Sanskrit, one could defend this reading of the
Pali "Upa.t.tha-" by construing "pari-" as "in the range of...".
In Pali, we have familiar usage of attendants keeping "in ear's range", or
even "in a whisper's range"; it therefore does not seem so unnatural to be
attended upon within the range of one's breath, or indeed within the mouth's
range --i.e., very close to oneself indeed.

This exactly what I mentioned in my post. In addition, I mentioned that we
do not have to make assumptions about the semantics of upa.t.thap
(causative) when the sommonly attested usage clearly menas to attend to
someone or something, and in the causative to let someone or something do
that. As for the rest I have no commentary except that it seems to me that
the Paninian reference makes perfect sense in the context of the use of
upa.t.thap.

Best Regards,

Ole Pind
