1. The turn has now come for a comment on the Lovingkindness Sutta, which is placed next to the Treasure-Store Sutta.
|
|
|
Tassa idha nikkhepappayojanaṃ vatvā tato paraṃ –
|
So after stating the purpose of placing it here,
|
|
|
"Yena vuttaṃ yadā yattha, yasmā cetesa dīpanā;
|
which illustrates as well By whom ’twas spoken, when, where, why,
|
|
|
Nidānaṃ sodhayitvāssa, karissāmatthavaṇṇanaṃ".
|
next I shall set out to clarify Its Source, And then a comment I shall tell.

2. Herein, excellence of merit consisting in giving, virtue, etc., was what was stated in the Treasure-Store [Sutta], and [this Loving-kindness Sutta is placed here next to that in order to show] how helpful lovingkindness is to that excellence of merit, since when lovingkindness is practised towards creatures, that [excellence of merit] becomes very fruitful and capable of bringing advancement right up to the plane of Enlightenment. Or alternatively, for those who have entered upon the Dispensation by means of the Refuges and have established themselves in virtue by means of the Training Precepts he has already shown a meditation subject with the Thirty- two Aspects that is capable of causing the abandonment of lust, and a meditation subject with the Boy’s Questions that is capable of causing the abandonment of delusion; and then with the Good- Omen Sutta self-protection [is shown] as the good-omen-ness in the occurrence of that [abandoning], and with the Jewel Sutta protection of others that conforms with that [good-omen-ness], and then with the Without-the-Walls Sutta [is shown] failure in the occurrence of [that abandoning of] the kind already mentioned, and that discourse points out certain kinds of beings among the beings already mentioned in the Jewel Sutta; and then with the Treasure-Store Sutta is shown the excellence that is the opposite of the failure already mentioned in the Without-the-Walls Sutta. But so far no meditation subject has been shown that is capable of causing the abandonment of hate; and so it was in order to show a meditation subject capable of causing abandonment of hate that this Loving-kindness Sutta was placed here:

Evañhi suparipūro hoti khuddakapāṭhoti idamassa idha nikkhepappayojanaṃ.

for in this way the Minor Readings are brought to full completion. This is the purpose of placing it here.
