English

Sweet, delightful, destroying faults, and beneficial; Those who will hear your words, they too are most fortunate among men. However, in such cases, the word "dhañña" should be taken to mean the attainment of merit, or the attainment of glory and wisdom along with the attainment of merit. Here is the etymology: "They are 'dhañña' because they possess 'dhañña' (the attainment of glory, merit, and wisdom)." But in "dhañña is considered auspicious," "dhañña" means that which should be cherished and trusted as "this is a supreme gem," being endowed with glory, endowed with merit, endowed with wisdom. This meaning is also appropriate. In "grain, wealth, silver, gold" and so on, by the saying "there is no wealth like grain," that which is considered wealth is grain. What is that? Early crops. Moreover, a type of medicine is also called grain. And as for the word *dhana* (wealth), in compounds like *adhana* (without wealth) and *niddhana* (destitute), it refers to a poor person, in the sense of "one who has no wealth." But in "goes to destruction," *nidhana* is said to mean destruction, based on the root *dhū* which signifies trembling. Root *Muna* in the sense of going. It goes. Root *Cina* in the sense of thinking. This root does not drop its final vowel, like *gile* and *mile*. It thinks, it despises. "May all people despise him" is the Pāli example here. *Ocināyati* means to despise. Thus, the verb forms ending in the *ta*-group of the *bhū*-class Are completed. Roots ending in *pa*. Now the verb forms ending in the *pa*-group are stated – Root *Pā* in the sense of drinking. Drinking is imbibing. "He drinks, they drink. Let him drink, let them drink" and so on should be appropriately applied. Quickly stretch out your neck, I will not give you life; This arrow, shot by me, will drink your blood. Here *pāssati* means *pivissati* (will drink). "He will drink, they will drink. You will drink, you all will drink. I will drink, we will drink" and so on, and "he drank, they drank" and so on, the rest should all be applied by those who know the method. Who indeed is capable of extracting and showing all the varied and scattered gem-like forms from the ocean of the Buddha's words? Therefore, in all roots, only a brief method of understanding has been shown. He drinks, they drink. Drinking, one who drinks, one who is drinking, drinking the water of the Ganges. In the causative, he makes the boy drink milk. For a moment, to quench thirst, you were made to drink milk by me. In the passive, it is drunk, drunk. In infinitives and gerunds, "to drink, to drink, having drunk, having drunk, having made to drink" and so on should be applied. In other places too, word forms should be applied in accordance with the Pāli method. Root *Pā* in the sense of protecting. He protects. He protects well. Father, cowherd. Root *Pā* in the sense of filling. He fills, he fills completely. Vipra. A brahmin is called Vipra. For he indeed purifies and fills with his special brahmin work, such as chanting the Vedas, the intention of the world, and the Vedas in his own heart, therefore he is called Vipra.

When speaking in the feminine gender, "Daughter" and "offspring" are to be said; In other places, one should speak appropriately; Indeed, in Pāli, "offspring" is A woman, a daughter, is called; Here, however – "Then after two seven-nights, the beloved daughter of Vedaha, The royal maiden named Rucā, spoke to her wet-nurse mother." This Pāli passage is an example. "Daughter, girl, daughter, offspring" - these are synonyms. Thus, by indicating "offspring" as a feminine word for a woman, the feminine gender rule in words like "suta" (son) should also be examined as to whether it is obtainable or not. For example, in the world, feminine words like "vessī, suddī, nārī, kiṃpurisī" are seen as pairs for "vesso, suddo, naro, kiṃpuriso" and so on. However, feminine words as pairs for "puriso, pumā" and so on are not seen. Here, "merit" is that which purifies its doer, thus "merit".
