Dear Petre,
Thank you! I'm now starting to take a look at verse 10, the last one, which
begins with "Cakkābhivuḍḍhikāmānaṃ". CPD has "desiring for one's growth" for
abhivuddhikāma, mfn. However, with cakka at the beginning of the compound,
does it make sense to say: desirous of the Wheel's growth (also increase or
prosperity) which I find odd. Can a wheel grow? I take it that cakka here
refers to dhammacakka. Any idea on how best to translate abhivuḍḍhi? I've
thought of strengthening as a possibility.
Best,
Jim
