Commentary on the Gandhabbakāya Connected Discourses

438-549. In the Gandhabbakāya Connected Discourses, "dwelling in the odour of roots" means arisen in dependence on a tree at whose root there is odour. For that entire tree is suitable for them. The same method applies to the remaining terms as well. "The odour of odours" means in the odour of the odours of roots and so on. For whatever tree has odour of all the roots and so on, that is here called "odour." In the odour of that odour, dwelling in that. Here all the roots and so on are suitable for those very ones. "He is a giver of root-odours" means he is a giver of root-odours such as kāḷānusāri and so on. Thus the meaning should be understood in all terms. For thus, having given a corresponding gift, they make an aspiration, and also a non-corresponding gift. To show that, "he gives food" and so on - the tenfold basis of giving was stated. The remainder is clear everywhere.
