atthesu jātesusukhā sakhāyā puṁñaṁ sukhaṁjīvitasaṁkhayamhi There is a reversal of lines b and c here in Patna and Pāḷi. These three verses (actually 2 1/2) are found in the same order at the end of the Nāgavaggo in the Pāḷi, where they seem to have hardly any connection with the theme of the chapter. |
