” I was thinking it might be “abhi” which is strong + “vada” ??? + “mi” which is “I””
- In this case, breakdown of the word does not work. It is just a word on its own.
” I just permutated vowels in the word – not that I know anything about it.”
- Very impressive! Pali words rhyme in a certain way.
The word comes in a popular Dhammapada gatha:
Abhivadana silissa
niccam vuddhapacayino
cattaro dhamma vaddhanti
ayu vanno sukham balam
Translated: “One who always respects and honors those who are virtuous and wise, is bound to receive (as kamma vipaka in future lives) four benefits of longevity, health, comforts and strength.”
