Notes

1.: Here, the monks are already of the same affiliation, so abhivitarati has a slightly different meaning: that they clear up the misunderstanding.
2.: This last case appears only in the Thai edition, is not paralleled in Mv.II.34.11, nor below in the ‘resident monks seeing incoming monks’ section. But it could make sense if it were interpreted to mean that even though the monks discuss the matter, they still misunderstand that they are of separate affiliations.
