Re: eva.m me suta.m

Dear Ole,

The following commentary at Sv I 28 allows for two interpretations of 'me'
and 'suta.m':

'me' saddassa hi 'mayaa'ti atthe sati 'eva.m mayaa suta.m'
sotadvaaraanusaarena upadhaaritanti yujjati.  'mamaa'ti atthe sati eva.m
mama suta.m sotadvaaraausaarena upadhaara.nanti yujjati.

So, if you take 'me' as an instrumental agent, 'suta.m' is taken as a
regular passive participle in the past tense 'heard' but if you take 'me' as
a genitive, 'suta.m' is then taken as an action noun 'hearing". The
difference is between 'upadhaarita.m' and 'upadhaara.na.m'. Cone gives the
following meanings for the latter as "the act of considering, reflecting on,
comprehending; consideration, keeping in mind".

Best wishes,
Jim
