The Chapter on Dwelling Comfortable
1.
Commentary on the Discourse on Timidity
101. In the first of the third, "producing self-confidence" means conducive to the state of being confident. "There is timidity" means there is displeasure.
2.
Commentary on the Discourse on Suspicion
102. In the second, "suspected and distrusted" means suspected and distrusted. "Even if he is of unshakeable nature" means even if he is one of unshakeable nature, one who has eliminated the mental corruptions, he is suspected and distrusted by others as an evil monk - this is the meaning. In "one who frequents prostitutes" and so on, prostitutes are called women who live by their beauty; "they would be his resort" - thus "one who frequents prostitutes"; the meaning is frequently going to their houses. The same method applies to the remaining terms as well. Therein, however, "widow" means one whose husband has died. "Unmarried grown-up women" means old unmarried girls.
3.
Commentary on the Discourse on the Great Thief
103. In the third, "I will offer hospitality with this wealth" means having taken wealth from here, from my own property, I will offer hospitality with that, and I will close the gap between him and myself - this is the meaning. "Seizures" means the seizures of goods belonging to others. "Secret counsels" means counsels that should be concealed. "Of an extreme view" means of one who stands having grasped either eternalism or annihilation. The remainder here is clear in meaning. In the fourth, everything is by the very method stated above.
5.
Commentary on the Discourse on Comfortable Abiding
105. In the fifth, "bodily action of friendliness" means bodily action carried out with a mind of friendliness. "Both openly and in private" means face to face and in one's absence. The same method applies to the others as well. "Whatever moral practices" and so on is said by way of the fourfold purification morality. "Conducive to concentration" means producing path concentration and fruition concentration. "Having attained similarity of morality" means having reached the state of equal morality, having become of identical morality - this is the meaning. "Of one who practises it" means whoever does it, of that person. Thus in this discourse, morality has been spoken of as mixed, and view as insight right view.
6.
Commentary on the Ānanda Sutta
106. In the sixth, "does not criticise others regarding higher morality" means he does not censure others, does not blame them by way of the state of morality. "One who observes himself" means one who contemplates only oneself by way of knowing what has been done and what has been left undone. "Not one who observes others" means uninvolved in what others have done and left undone. "Unknown" means not well-known, of little merit. "By that state of being unknown" means by the state of being unknown, by obscurity, by meagre merit. "Is not agitated" means does not fall into agitation. Thus in this discourse, only one who has eliminated the mental corruptions is spoken of.
7-8.
Commentary on the Morality Discourse and Others
107-108. In the seventh, morality, concentration, and wisdom have been spoken of as mixed; liberation is the fruition of arahantship; knowledge and vision of liberation is reviewing knowledge, which is mundane only. The same method applies to the eighth as well. But here, because reviewing knowledge occurs for one beyond training, it is said to be beyond training.
9-10.
Commentary on the Four Directions Discourse and Others
109-110. In the ninth, "belonging to the four directions" means one whose movement is unobstructed in the four directions. In this discourse too, only one who has eliminated the mental corruptions is spoken of. In the tenth, "ala" means proper. Here too, only one who has eliminated the mental corruptions is spoken of.
