anupavādo anupaghāto, BJT, Thai, ChS: anūpavādo anūpaghāto. it should be noted that the PTS readings (which I have accepted here) are based on the old Thai manuscripts only, but the reading anū in the other editions has probably arisen through imitation of parūpaghātī in the previous verse. If anū- is the correct reading then we have to accept the fact that the metre is very wrong indeed, giving a 10 syllable line.¹³ ~ pātimokkhe ca saṁvaro,
