itipi pubbenivāsoti → iti pubbe nivāso ti (pts) | itipi → iti (bj: PTS)“So it was in a past life; such it was in a past life.”

Assosi kho bhagavā dibbāya sotadhātuyā visuddhāya atikkantamānusikāya tesaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ imaṁ kathāsallāpaṁ.

kāya nuttha → kāyanuttha (my, bjt) | vippakatāti → vippakatā ti (bjt) | nuttha → nu ttha (pts) | antarākathā vippakatāti → antarā kathā vippakatā ti (pts)“Mendicants, what were you sitting talking about just now? What conversation was left unfinished?”

“Iccheyyātha no tumhe, bhikkhave, pubbenivāsapaṭisaṁyuttaṁ dhammiṁ kathaṁ sotun”ti?
pubbenivāsapaṭisaṁyuttaṁ → pubbe-nivāsapaṭisaṁyuttaṁ (pts) | sotunti → sotun ti (pts)“Would you like to hear a Dhamma talk on the subject of past lives?”

“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṁ.
evaṁ bhanteti → evambhanteti (bjt) | bhanteti → bhante ti (pts)“Yes, sir,” they replied. Bhagavā etadavoca:
