ā€œYo hoti bhikkhu arahaṁ katāvÄ«, ā€œAn arahant monk, one who is done, ā€œWhen a mendicant is perfected, well-versed, KatāvÄ« (ā€œwell-versedā€) is also found at MN 82:38.5.ā€œIf a bhikkhu is an arahant,

Khīṇāsavo antimadehadhārÄ«; effluent-free, bearing his last body: with defilements ended, bearing the final body: Consummate, with taints destroyed,

Ahaṁ vadāmÄ«tipi so vadeyya, Would he say, ā€˜I speak’? would they say, ā€˜I speak’, Would he still say, ā€˜I speak’?

Mamaṁ vadantÄ«tipi so vadeyyÄā€ti. Would he say, ā€˜They speak to me’?ā€ or even ā€˜they speak to me’?ā€ The questioner wonders how those who have abandoned the conceit of self could use the word ā€œIā€.And would he say, ā€˜They speak to me’?ā€

ā€œYo hoti bhikkhu arahaṁ katāvÄ«, ā€œAn arahant monk, one who is done, ā€œWhen a mendicant is perfected, well-versed, ā€œIf a bhikkhu is an arahant,

Khīṇāsavo antimadehadhārÄ«; effluent-free, bearing his last body: with defilements ended, bearing the final body: Consummate, with taints destroyed, One who bears his final body,

Ahaṁ vadāmÄ«tipi so vadeyya, He would say, ā€˜I speak’; they would say, ā€˜I speak’, He might still say, ā€˜I speak, ’

Mamaṁ vadantÄ«tipi so vadeyya; would say, ā€˜They speak to me.’ and also ā€˜they speak to me’. And he might say, ā€˜They speak to me. ’

Loke samaƱƱaṁ kusalo viditvā, Skillful, knowing harmonious gnosis with regard to the world, Skillful, understanding the world’s labels, Skilful, knowing the world’s parlance,

Vohāramattena so vohareyyÄā€ti. he uses expressions just as expressions.ā€ they’d use these terms as mere expressions.ā€ An ā€œexpressionā€ (vohāra) is a ā€œconveyanceā€ for sharing meaning. It does not implicate the user in a metaphysical view of ā€œSelfā€. See DN 9:53.5.He uses such terms as mere expressions. ā€

ā€œYo hoti bhikkhu arahaṁ katāvÄ«, ā€œAn arahant monk, one who is done, ā€œWhen a mendicant is perfected, well-versed, ā€œWhen a bhikkhu is an arahant,

Khīṇāsavo antimadehadhārÄ«; effluent-free, bearing his last body: with defilements ended, bearing the final body: Consummate, with taints destroyed, One who bears his final body,

Mānaṁ nu kho so upagamma bhikkhu, Is it from conceit is such a mendicant drawing close to conceit Is it because he has come upon conceit

Ahaṁ vadāmÄ«tipi so vadeyya; that he’d say, ā€˜ I speak’?— if they’d say, ā€˜I speak’, That he would say, ā€˜I speak, ’

Mamaṁ vadantÄ«tipi so vadeyyÄā€ti. that he’d say, ā€˜They speak to me’?ā€ This question confuses the conceit, ā€œI amā€ (asmimāna) with the simple concept, ā€œI.ā€ The former is a fetter, in that it involves one in a tangle of views as to what the ā€œIā€ is, and what it means to be. (See MN 2.) The latter, as this verse shows, is simply a conventional expression, and if it can be separated from the conceit ā€œI am,ā€ it need not fetter the mind.or even ā€˜they speak to me’?ā€ That he would say, ā€˜They speak to me’?ā€

ā€œPahÄ«namānassa na santi ganthā, ā€œFor one whose conceit is abandoned, ā€œSomeone who has given up conceit has no ties, ā€œNo knots exist for one with conceit abandoned;

Vidhūpitā mānaganthassa sabbe; whose knot of conceit is dispersed, no knots exist at all. the ties of conceit are all dissipated. For him all knots of conceit are consumed.

Sa vītivatto maññataṁ sumedho, He, beyond any concept, wise, Though that intelligent person has passed beyond conceiving, Though the wise one has transcended the conceived,

Ahaṁ vadāmÄ«tipi so vadeyya. would say, ā€˜I speak’; they’d still say, ā€˜I speak’, He still might say, ā€˜I speak, ’

Mamaṁ vadantÄ«tipi so vadeyya, would say, ā€˜They speak to me.’ and also ā€˜they speak to me’. He might say too, ā€˜They speak to me. ’

Loke samaƱƱaṁ kusalo viditvā; Skillful, knowing harmonious gnosis with regard to the world, Skillful, understanding the world’s labels, Skilful, knowing the world’s parlance,

Vohāramattena so vohareyyÄā€ti. he uses expressions just as expressions.ā€See also: DN 9; MN 102; AN 4:159; AN 4:200; AN 6:13; AN 9:1; AN 10:13they’d use these terms as mere expressions.ā€ He uses such terms as mere expressions. ā€
