Re: tapenti

Dear Ven. Yuttadhammo,

Both tapati and upatapeti occur in the Maccha-Jātaka 34. They both look like valid historical forms from Skt. tapati or tāpayati = tāpeti, shown here with short -a- in order to preserve the correct "sloka metre of short-long-short-long in the second line (posterior pada).

Metta, Bryan

       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
