Dhamma Verses (Dhammapada, KN 2)

Introduction – 14
studies, metrical analysis and indexes; 1 and Franz Bernhard’s
Udānavarga, 2 in which I made similar additions. I still have it in
mind to bring out translations of those texts when I can find time.
Acknowledgements
I am once again grateful to Ayyā Sudhammā, who went through the
text very diligently, and with humour and patience pointed out its
manifold shortcomings. I have now managed to remove some of
those, but any that remain are of course entirely my own fault.
I hope this work will help to continue the great tradition of
providing moral guidance to the present generation in a form that
they can find clear and appealing. Any merit accruing form this
work I would like to dedicate to my parents: may they be well and
happy and peaceful in their new lives

2 nd Edition
In November 2017 I finished a translation of the Patna
Dhammapada. The work on that text reflected back many times on
this translation, and I have updated this work accordingly.
