Example text
Since in fact we find that there is in the Dhammapada a verse talking about the good teaching the dhamma to the good,36 we could very reasonably translate the title 33 yathāpi bhamaro paleti rasam ādāya, Dhp 49 abc. 34 Carter & Palihawadana, 1987, 443, note 14. 35 See Norman, 1990B, 1–13 (=CP IV, 170–74). 36 satañ ca dhammo na upeti, santo have sabbhi pavedayanti, Dhp 151 cd. e. the Buddha or the Buddhas.
