Re: mudhappasanna

Dear Phra Yuttadhammo,

I checked some of  the readings for the word at Vin III 39. PTS has
"buddhappasannaaa" with no variants given in the endnotes. CSCD 3 has
"mudhappasannaa" and a variant "muddhappasannaa" is given for the
Sinhalese edn. In Kashyap's Indian edition the reading is
"mudhappasannaa" with three variant readings given: "muduppasannaa"
(Thai edn) and one each for the PTS and Sinhalese editions (as above).
To find out which is the correct reading one will have to compare
their meanings in the context of the Vinaya passage and find out if
commentaries have anything to say about this compound.

Best wishes,
Jim
