Commentary
Parallel texts
| Uv 6.16-6.18 |
Philological commentary
| The 4x12-syllable-metre (rhythm = 5/7), as is used in this leaf down to b4, is also used in Book 6 (Śīlavarga; cf. THT 14); and the fact that the strophes 67ff. attested here are related to the group of strophes Uv 6.16-18 (= Dhp 64-56) is clearly shown in a7, which is an obvious translation of Uv 6.18. According to the commentary on Dhp 54-55, the Buddha answers Ānanda’s question “Are there odours that flow against the wind or odours that flow with the wind as well as against it?” with these strophes: “Yes, there are such odours. If one takes refuge with the Buddha, does the ten good deeds and avoids doing evil deeds, he emits odours that flow against the wind or both against the wind and with it” (see Burlingame 1921, II: 84f.). Thus the Buddha is likely to be the speaker and Ānanda the addressee in a1ff. – The new chapter beginning with b5 is in a 4x17-syllable-metre (rhythm = 6/6/5) and can with certainty be allocated to the 7th Book (i.e. the Sucaritavarga). Strophe 78 thus must close with päklyauṣso, and the following gap must originally have contained the colophon to the finished varga as well as the name of the metre used in the section to follow (presumably Niṣkramāntne). Additionally, (sucaritavargä \) śanmaṃ would nicely fill verse 78d. |
