| a1 | And (the thing) the thinking in connection with which is called "aversion-thinking" is nirvid . (?) |

| a1+ | Happiness, pleasure, joy - this is called prāmodya . |

| a4 | ‘[the mind] is disposed to gather virtues by the power of prasrabdhi [serenity] for the good morals. |

| a2+ | Dies wird prāmodya genannt: Was dem, der den achtfachen Weg verwirklicht, daraus [wtl. deswegen] zu der Zeit [als] freudige Erregung [und] Sehnsucht entsteht, das wird prāmodya "Freude" genannt. (Schmidt 1974: 223) |
|---|
| a3+ | Die für den Geist zum Sammeln der Tugenden die Grundlage bildende(?) Ursache an [seinem] Geschmeidigsein, die wird prasrabdhi "[innere] Ruhe" [wtl. das Entlassen [jeglicher Störung]] genannt. (Schmidt 1974: 224) |
