The Chapter on Andhakavinda
1.
Commentary on the Kulūpaka Sutta
111. "One who presumes intimacy without acquaintance" means he places trust in those who do not make acquaintance with himself, in those who do not enter into trust with him. "One who gives directions without authority" means being one who has no authority, he assigns saying "Give this, take this," as though he were a lord. "One who associates with those who are estranged" means he associates with estranged, divided families for the purpose of reuniting them. "One who whispers in the ear" means he takes counsel at the base of the ear. The bright side should be understood by the reverse of what has been stated.

Commentary on the Discourse on the Attendant Monk
112. In the second, "does not take the bowl and its contents" means when the preceptor has turned back and stood still, having given his own empty bowl, he does not take his bowl, or does not take what is being given from him. "Does not prevent" means he does not know that this statement is a statement on the verge of transgressing an offence. Or even having known, he does not prevent thus: "Venerable sir, it is not proper to say such a thing." "Interrupts the discussion" means having broken his discussion, he introduces his own discussion. "Dull" means stupid. "An idiot" means one whose mouth drips with saliva. The third is clear in itself.

Commentary on the Andhakavinda Sutta
114. In the fourth, "be moral" means be virtuous. "With mindfulness for safeguarding" means endowed with mindfulness that guards the doors. "With mindfulness for discernment" means of one who is mindful, endowed with knowledge that is precisely for guarding the doors. "Endowed with a mind protected by mindfulness" means endowed with a consciousness protected by mindfulness. "Of little talk" means of little speech. "Ones with right view" means endowed with the fivefold right view by way of the ownership of action, meditative absorption, insight, path, and fruition. But further, reviewing knowledge too should be understood as right view itself.

"Stingy regarding families" means she is miserly about the supporting family, she does not endure others approaching there. "Stingy regarding material gain" means she is miserly about material gain, she does not endure that arising for others.
