Hello Ajith,

No. There is no contradiction with that post.

  • Can you pinpoint a bullet number or a statement in that post such a contradiction is implied?
  • It is possible that you may be thinking about the ‘vaṇṇa’ component of a suddhāṭṭhaka (in #6 of the second post). Sometimes ‘vaṇṇa’ is translated into Sinhala as ‘වර්ණ ‘ meaning ‘color’; but that is not what it means in this case. 
  • There, you need to take the meaning of ‘highly impressed’ (as in the case of attaching to something because one is enjoying it very much). In Sinhala, one could say ‘වර්ණනා කිරීම.’ That could be regrading something that is seen.
