6:3 The translation of the terms in this verse is rather conjectural, notwithstanding the explanations in the commentary. 6:4 I translate according to the interpretation of the commentator, which is probably right; but the text sets all rules of grammar at defiance. 7:1 Literally, search for the goad. 7:2 Buddha. 7:3 Namati, literally, bows down. 7:4 Puvvasamthuya = pûrvasamstuta. Besides the meaning rendered in my translation the commentator proposes another: already famous. 7:5 Atthiya = arthika, having an object or purpose, viz. môksha; it is therefore frequently rendered: leading to liberation. 8:1 I.e. a liberated or perfected soul. 8:2 Ti bêmi = iti bravîmi. These words serve to mark the end of every chapter in all canonical books; compare the Latin dixi.
