Tatra pi sudaṁ BJT, ChS, PTS: Tatra sudaṁ, here, but includes it later. Normally in Pāḷi pi is included in the first item also.⁰⁸ Bhagavā Rājagahe viharanto Gijjhakūṭe pabbate, etad-eva bahulaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ Dhammiṁ kathaṁ karoti: [102]

“Iti sīlaṁ, iti samādhi, iti paññā, sīlaparibhāvito samādhi mahapphalo hoti mahānisaṁso, samādhiparibhāvitā paññā mahapphalā hoti mahānisaṁsā, paññāparibhāvitaṁ cittaṁ sammad-eva āsavehi vimuccati, seyyathīdaṁ: BJT sometimes writes seyyathīdaṁ and sometimes seyyathidaṁ. Which spelling was intended by the editors is not clear. Other editions have long -ī-.⁰⁹ kāmāsavā bhavāsavā PTS inserts diṭṭhāsavā here and in similar places throughout. The original formula seems to have been three-fold, and including a fourth term seems to be a later addition (though already found in the discourses).¹⁰ avijjāsavā.” ti [103]
