Re: Birch-barch MS (1st century) & Kacc

Hi Eisel,

Ole sent me an explanatory note offlist for the example I quoted from Kacc
272. The syntax makes sense when one checks the Sanskrit suutra at Paa.n
I.4:26 and definition 3 in Apte's dictionary under paraa-ji gives a passive
meaning to the verb in its active form i.e. the heretics are overwhelmed by
the Buddha or the heretics find the Buddha unbearable or overwhelming.

Sorry to read about what happened to Ven. Nyanatusita which I would call a
horrific home invasion. Ven. Nyanatusita is a member of our list. Let's wish
him well and a full and speedy recovery.

Best wishes,
Jim
