Text and translation
Read in the chapter →254. 274. Imasmā ha-dhā ca (503)
Imasmā ha dha icc ete paccayā honti sattamyatthe.
Iha, idha.
Caggahaṇam avadhāraṇatthaṃ.
- Iha = ima + ha (‘ha’ is used in the meaning of the seventh inflection (§254); “ima” is substituted by ‘i’ (§234)).
- Idha = ima + dha (‘dha’ is used in the meaning of the seventh inflection (§254); “ima” is substituted by ‘i’ (§234)).
The taking of “ca” is for restricting [the scope of this sutta with respect to words other than “ima”].
Without the footnotes: they are on the chapter card.
