Translation of the Three Poisons

Post by mattshap »

Hi all,
I'm looking for a translation of the three poisons (ignorance, greed/attachment, and aversion/anger/hatred) into Pali with the Devanagari script. Does anyone know where I can find one?

Thanks very much

Hello mattshap,

If you don't get what you are looking here in this thread, you may like to put your request on the ''All Things Pali'' list at:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Pali/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Lots of other Pali resources here, including one about scripts:

I think you may mean transliteration. Find the sutta which mentions them, and then find that sutta here: http://www.tipitaka.org/deva/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;. Font: http://biharvidhanparishad.gov.in/HindiFonts.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.
