Introduction

Apekkhā & Apekhā

The spelling is either -kkh- or -kh-, which are used indiscriminately, says PED. There is inconsistency between editions, and even within editions. For example, both BJT and VRI versions read:

So taṁ namassaṁ acari mutyapekkho Snp 346

So taṁ namassaṁ acari mutyapekho Tha 1264

We have normalised our spellings to -pekkh-

Illustrations
