English
ettāvat-, in cpd (= Skt. etāvat, cf. prec.
Pali adv. ettāvatā), to this extent, noted only in Mv 〔ii.130.8, 11〕. where mss. are corrupt but Senartʼs text and interpretation are certainly wrong
read probably, ettāvatpāram ito imaṃ pi kecit nābhisaṃbhuṇanti. or possibly nāpi sam° (they experience pains) to so great an extent as this, and after this (ito
cf. Pali parallel, MN 〔i.246.22, 25〕 etāvaparamaṃ na-y-ito bhiyvo
also parallel LV 〔263.8〕 etāvatparamam te duhkham anubhavanti) some do not attain [Page156-a] even this (degree of success
said of ascetics who practise self-torture). At any rate, divide ettāvatpāram from ito (Senart °pāramite).
