Re: Buddhaghosa's citations in Visuddhimagga

Dear Khristos Nizamis,

regarding sammati - sammuti sammati is the form used in Thai editions 
throughout for sammuti in all shades of the word.

vutta.m heta.m, vuttañcetaṃ is used in commentaries and 
subcommentaries, if they quote from canonical scriptures. tenaahu 
poraa.naa or yathaahu poraa.naa is a relative reference. It refers to 
a source younger than the writer, and these sources may be totally 
different. In Ud-a (306) a quotation preceded by these words refers 
to Pa.tis (ii 115). In most cases, however, these words refer to some 
older commentaries. In case of the Vism many of the quotations are 
traced in the Samantapaasaadika, and the commentaries to the 
Suttapi.taka including the words tenaahu poraa.naa. Here the question 
arises where they are quoted first. Anyway I suppose that most of 
these references are from the Siiha.la.t.thakathaa. But naturally one 
has to check this for each quotation.

Best,
Petra
