Notes. This verse is in tone the same as vy. 1-2, and corresponds
in form to the Pāli except for hi in place of cu after sanatasa and yasidha vadhati in place of yasoblio. There is nothing more to notice than the chauge of cinto y in suyikamasa, the change of k into cin nišamacarino, and a vowel sandhi in yasidha (yaśn + idha). The expression niónmacurino might also be equated with Pali nisammncarino which is a synonym, in a narrower sense, of dhammacārino.

Notes.---This verse which sets forth the evil effect of indolence
and thoughtlessness, exactly corresponds in form as well as in tone to the Pali except for the word omatima io place of kusito, indolent.'' M. Senart rightly points out that the expression smatima is inexplicable, unless it be supposed that it is asmatima, the initial vowel being elided through a sandhi with the previous word. In this verse, as in many others, one cannot fail to notice the Buddhist method of defining a term by juxtaposiug a host of synonyms differ. ing from each other in slight shades of meaning, the total effect being the intensification of the main idea.
