(Click on the above link, or here, for audio.)

Part I of an extended commentary on the Sundarika Bharadvaja Sutta, translated by
Thanissaro Bhikkhu -- with comparison between Theravadan Pali Buddha-Dhamma and some Brahman principles of theory & practice. NOTE: "SnA" (as a basis for sutta commentary) is mistakenly identified as "Samyutta Nikaya Atthakatha" -- when in fact it should correctly refer to: Suttanipāta-Aṭṭhakathā. Gautama's teaching on the importance of proper conduct vs. birth-caste, core path-view, and the essentials of achieving awareness-release and knowledge-release as goal.
