<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">762. Herein, corruption by craving is purified by quiet, and that quiet is the concentration category. Corruption by view is purified by insight, and that insight is the understanding category. Cor­ruption by misconduct is purified by good conduct, and that good conduct is the virtue category. <span style="font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">

<p class="MsoNoSpacing" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"TimesNewRoman","serif"">873 /2 Some translators have got ethically embroiled over this verse and that which follows it (Dh. 294 and 295). So, it is worth while examining it care­fully. There are three problems: (1) the grammar, (2) the direct meaning, and (3) the interpretation. The Pali is mataram pitaram hantva rajano dve ca khattiye rattham sanucaram hantva anigho yati brahmano. Now (1) the grammar (syntax) is unusually simple, being gerund (hantva) followed by finite verb (yati), a very frequent Pali construction signifying either temporal or causal succession (‘having slaughtered . . . goes’ or ‘by slaughtering . . . goes’). There is no justification at all for inserting, as some have done, an ‘although’ (‘ although having slaughtered . . . goes’) since there is no corres­ponding word in the Pali and the syntax does not require it. For the gerund and verb there are two possible subjects: either (a) brahmano (‘a Divine’) as noun, with anigho (‘immune’) as qualifying adj., or (b) ‘one’ (ekacco or so) understood, of whom then both anigho and brahmano are qualifying adjs. (This construction is very common in Pali, cf. Sn. 35 ‘ sabbesu bhutesu nidhaya (ger.) dandam . . . eko (adj.) care (verb) khaggavisanakappo (adj.)’, both adjs. qualifying an understood ‘one’ as verb-subject). (2) As to the direct meaning: first (a), if brahmano is taken as the subject of the verb (‘a brahmana (already such) having slaughtered (or by slaughtering) a mother . . . goes immune’), this must imply some such doctrine as the ‘teleological sus­pension of the ethical’ (e.g., ‘a saint with pure heart can commit any crime without sin’, etc.). But in the whole Tipitaka no such doctrine is taught anywhere, which would make hay of innumerable discourses, and particular nonsense of the ‘instance and non-instance’ (§546) the ‘10 courses of action’, and the eight-factored path. If there is an alternative, it must be considered. There is one. In fact, (b) brahmano can be taken in its natural adj. sense to qualify ‘one’ understood as subject of the verb (as in Sn. 35 referred to above: cf. §829, etc.). Then the understood subject has two qualifying adjs. anigha and brahmano, and the natural direct rendering then is ‘Having slaughtered (by slaughtering) a mother,. . . two kings. . . [one] wanders immune, divine’. This is certainly preferable since it is grammatical and literal and involves no necessary contradiction of other texts as long as a figurative meaning is possible. (3) The interpretation could either be literal or allegorical. If literal (i.e., ‘It is by (or after) slaughtering a mother . . . two kings . . . that one wanders immune, divine’, then besides the clash mentioned above (2a), the statement as a whole is absurd since the ‘ two ’ kings (‘two’ in both verses) cannot be explained at all. This, in fact, rules out a literal interpretation. The verse is, then, on its internal evidence quite clearly a ‘shock-allegory’ (there is another, milder, one in §812, and see below), and it should be rendered exactly as it is in the Pali in all its ‘shocking’ simplicity with no words squeamishly interpolated through misapprehending it. The allegorical sense is underlined by Netti in its own way by its allotment of the term ‘expressed in terms of ideas’. What it is an allegory for is given by NettiA
