Greetings!

Thanks for all your great help with my questions. I wonder if someone could provide the Pali word and its direct translation(s) for "ornament" in the phrase 'This is an ornament for the mind, a support for the mind' (AN 7.49).

Metta,

It should be cittassa alankāra in Pali if I remember well.

From Ven. Bodhi's note:

The three editions have slightly different readings. I follow Ce cittālaṅkāraṃ cittaparikkhāranti. Neither Be nor Ee have the quotation marker ti. Mp: “It is an ornament, an accessory, of the mind pertaining to serenity and insight” (samathavipassanācittassa)~~ http://palicanon.org/index.php/sutta-pi ... -sacrifice ~~
