Comm Nyanamoli thera: Translation breaks down here. English has no expression that could mean either ' eight persons praised by the wise' or 'a hundred and eight persons'. Satam can be either the nom. neut. sing, numeral 'a hundred 'or the gen. masc. pl. of santa (either 'existing ' as ppr. root as or ' quieted as pp. root sam). In the first case the line could be rendered 'The eight and a hundred persons who are praised'.
