tapenti

Dear Friends,

I received another potential typo in the VRI tipitaka; probably I won't
fix it, but here is the note:

     While studying the Dudubbhajaataka [322 - he actually means the
     commentary], one of my favorite ones, I noticed that the word
     tapenti occurs only once (hapax) in the Tipitaka. I think it might
     be a typo and it should be taapenti. What do you think?


Can anyone confirm what the Burmese Tipitaka has?  It is in the first
paragraph of the commentary to J. 322:

duddubhāyati bhaddanteti idaṃ satthā jetavane viharanto aññatitthiye
ārabbha kathesi. titthiyā kira jetavanassa samīpe tasmiṃ tasmiṃ ṭhāne
kaṇṭakāpassaye seyyaṃ kappenti, pañcātapaṃ *tapenti*, nānappakāraṃ
micchātapaṃ caranti. atha sambahulā bhikkhū sāvatthiyaṃ piṇḍāya caritvā
jetavanaṃ āgacchantā antarāmagge te disvā gantvā satthāraṃ upasaṅkamitvā
“atthi nu kho, bhante, aññatitthiyānaṃ vatasamādāne sāro”ti pucchiṃsu.
satthā “na, bhikkhave, tesaṃ vatasamādāne sāro vā viseso vā atthi, tañhi
nighaṃsiyamānaṃ upaparikkhiyamānaṃ ukkārabhūmimaggasadisaṃ sasakassa
duddubhasadisaṃ hotī”ti vatvā “duddubhasadisabhāvamassa mayaṃ na jānāma,
kathetha no, bhante”ti tehi yācito atītaṃ āhari.

Best wishes,

Yuttadhammo
