(Auto-Translation): (1) (Destroying) the merit of others, (not recognizing) the kindness of others is a blemish. Look at the blemishes of virtue. (2) (Your own) hidden malice. (3) The perception of being disrespected by others. (4) A desire to destroy. Look at the blemishes of virtue. (5) A desire to hide. (The tendency to destroy the good qualities and merits of others, which are the unique attributes of other individuals, is indeed a distinct characteristic of blemish. This is referred to as "the blemish of prestige.") Just as wiping off the water on oneself after bathing makes one clean (Thera, Dhatu, 2.362; Ma, Dhi, 1.272). The act of thoroughly and effectively destroying others' honor and merit without leaving any trace is the essence of blemish (rasa). This is referred to as "the totality of dust." When blemish arises, it can obscure the merits and kindness of others from being apparent, as understood by the yogi's wisdom. This is referred to as "the outweighing of objects of perception." Those who uphold this quality can only speak of the faults of others without glorifying their honor and merits. (Ma, Dhi, 1.114; Abi, Dhi, 2.474; Itiwut, Dhi, 47). This blemish first destroys the honor of one's own existence before it destroys the honor and merits of others, akin to someone who throws dirt on another without being clean. If one throws dirt on another, one's own hands will also be dirty beforehand, for the blemish makes the receiver ineffective first. Look at the nature of blemish.
Pali is the language of the Tipiá¹aka, which is the sacred canon of TheravÄda Buddhism and contains much of the Buddha’s speech. Closeley related to Sanskrit, both languages are used interchangeably between religions.
Prakrit-English dictionary
: DDSA: Paia-sadda-mahannavo; a comprehensive Prakrit Hindi dictionaryMakkha (मकà¥à¤–) in the Prakrit language is related to the Sanskrit word: ²Ñ°ù²¹°ìá¹�.
Prakrit is an ancient language closely associated with both Pali and Sanskrit. Jain literature is often composed in this language or sub-dialects, such as the Agamas and their commentaries which are written in Ardhamagadhi and Maharashtri Prakrit. The earliest extant texts can be dated to as early as the 4th century BCE although core portions might be older.
