61. 86. Sāgamo se (208)

[Sa-āgamo + se = 2 words]

Sakārāgamo hoti se vibhattimhi.

Purisassa, aggissa, isissa, daṇḍissa, bhikkhussa, sayambhussa, abhibhussa.

Se ti kimatthaṃ? Purisasmiṃ.

When ‘sa’ [follows], [there is] insertion of ‘s’.

When the inflection ‘sa’ follows, there is insertion of ‘s’.

Example: purisassa = purisa + sa. By this sutta ‘s’ is inserted after the base. The rest are to be understood similarly.

What is the purpose of saying ‘se’? [There is no application of this sutta in the example] “purisasmiṃ” (in the man), [since the inflection is not ‘sa’ but ‘smiṃ’].

Without the footnotes: they are on the chapter card.
