Re: Commentary to Samaadhisutta, K S IV, 80.

Ah, okay, I found it now.  If you notice, the commentary for sutta seven
has the same wording.  In the Thai Pali, commentary for sutta six has
phaati.m but commentary for sutta seven has dhaati.m as Bhante Bodhi
guessed.  Looks like the translator used the second form for both.  Quite
funny, actually... what the Thai says is that the Buddha realized, "when
the mind is one pointed, it will need a wet-nurse".  And as you are aware,
ph and dh in Thai don't look at all similar.

Best wishes,

Yuttadhammo
