1"Bhikkhus, when, in regard to a disciplinary issue, the exchange of words between both parties, [n.297] Ubhato vacīsaṁsāro. The expression is unusual. Mp explains that on both sides the talk continues (saṁsaramānā) as they verbally attack one another. the insolence about views, and the resentment, bitterness, and exasperation are not settled internally, [n.298] Ce reads here ajjhattaṁ na avūpasantaṁ hoti, "not unsettled internally," which means in effect that the disturbance is settled; that is precisely the opposite of what the context requires. Older Sinhala-script editions, referred to in the notes to Ce, read ajjhattaṁ na suvūpasantaṁ hoti, "not well settled internally," which makes better sense. Be and Ee read ajjhattaṁ avūpasantaṁ hoti, supported by the lemma of Mp (Ce and Be). I thus translate on the basis of this reading. Similarly, in the following paragraph, Ce reads ajjhattaṁ avūpasantaṁ hoti, again the opposite of what the context requires. I take as the basis for my rendering there Be and Ee ajjhattaṁ na suvūpasantaṁ hoti. it can be expected that this disciplinary issue will lead to acrimony and animosity for a long time, and the bhikkhus will not dwell at ease.

"Bhikkhus, when, in regard to a disciplinary issue, the exchange of words between both parties, the insolence about views, and the resentment, bitterness, and exasperation are well settled internally, it can be expected that this disciplinary issue will not lead to acrimony and animosity for a long time, and the bhikkhus will dwell at ease." [n.299] Ce treats this paragraph as a separate sutta. Be and Ee, which I follow, treat the two paragraphs as a single sutta. Unless the two paragraphs are taken in this way, there is no dyad here justifying their inclusion in the Twos.
