1v.35 "Is there a person somewhere in the world
Who is restrained by a sense of shame,
One who draws back from blame
As a good horse does from the whip?" [n.28] Be and Se read the verb in pāda c as apabodhati, Ee1 as appabodhati, Ee2 as appabodheti. Apparently the latter readings arose on the supposition that the word is formed from a + pabodh. Spk's gloss—apāhāranto bujjhati, "who, pulling back, knows"—supports apabodhati (apa + bodh). The Skt parallel at Uv 19:5 has a different pāda altogether, sarvapapaṁ jahaty eṣa. Though the verse includes no ostensible interrogative, Spk interprets it as posing a question. I take koci to be equivalent to kvaci, though Spk glosses it as a personal pronoun. Spk: As a good thoroughbred who knows to pull back from the whip does not let it strike him, so a bhikkhu who is keen to avoid blame—who knows to pull back from it—does not let any genuine ground for abuse strike him. The deva asks: "Is there any such arahant?" But no one is wholly free from abuse on false grounds. The Buddha answers that such arahants, who avoid unwholesome states from a sense of shame, are few.

2v.36 "Few are those restrained by a sense of shame
Who fare always mindful;
Few, having reached the end of suffering,
Fare evenly amidst the uneven." sn.i.8
