SN1:66 Afflicted
- DG BB TBW © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi. (More copyright information)
1v.213 "By what is the world afflicted?
By what is it enveloped?
By what dart has it been wounded?
With what is it always burning?"
[n.124] I read with Be, Se, Ee1, and Spk (Be) kissa dhūpayito,
as against kissa dhūmayito in Ee2, SS, and Spk (Se). The verse is also
at Th 448 with dhūpayito. Norman (at
EV I, n. to 448) contends this word means "perfumed" or "obscured (by smoke),"
but Spk glosses as aditto; see too v. 542, where padhūpito must
mean "burning."
2v.214 "The world is afflicted with death,
Enveloped by old age;
Wounded by the dart of craving,
It is always burning with desire."
1"Kenassubbhāhato loko,
kenassu parivārito;
Kena sallena otiṇṇo,
kissa dhūpāyito sadā"ti.
2"Maccunābbhāhato loko,
jarāya parivārito;
Taṇhāsallena otiṇṇo,
icchādhūpāyito sadā"ti.
