Dear Bryan,
<< I am wondering about the meaning of
two compounds ekanipāta-tittham iva ("like a fording place with one
descent"?) and deva-manussa-nayana-vihaṃgānaṃ
loka-rāmaṇeyyakam iva ("like a lovely place in the world where birds (?
vihaṃgānaṃ) bring gods and men"?). >>
Tt
seems to me that the "-nipāta-" in "ekanipāta-tittham" might be
referring to a landing place. See Abh 1121 on nipāto and its ṭịkā and also Spk
on "Isipatane" in the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta.
Best,
Jim
