Kiñcidevāti kiñci vajjaṃ diṭṭhigataṃ vā. Paṭicchannaṃ sevatīti yathā aññe na jānanti, evaṃ sevati. Akkhamamānaṃ āha khamatīti aruccamānaṃyeva ruccati meti vadati. Attanā kataṃ atimahantampi vajjaṃ appamattakaṃ katvā paññapeti, parena kataṃ dukkaṭamattaṃ vītikkamampi pārājikasadisaṃ katvā dasseti. Anuññeyyanti anujānitabbaṃ anumoditabbaṃ.

“Whatever” means whatever fault or view. “Practises in secret” means he practises in such a way that others do not know. “He says what is displeasing is pleasing” means of what is unliked he says, “It is liked by me.” Even a very great fault committed by himself he describes making it out to be trifling, but even a mere wrongdoing transgression committed by another he shows making it out to be like an offence entailing defeat. “Should be approved” means should be permitted, should be rejoiced in.
