When the Dhamma and discipline proclaimed by the Tathāgata is being taught,(1)one does not wish to listen;(2)one does not lend an ear;(3)one does not set one's mind on understanding;(4)one grasps the meaning wrongly;(5)one discards the meaning; Attham rincati.Mp:"One discards the benefit of growth"(vaddhi-attham chaddeti).Mp explains attha here in an ethical sense,as good or benefit.However,since the word is used in connection with someone listening to the teaching,it seems more likely that its semantic sense—namely,"meaning"—is intended.Thus attha is the correct meaning of the exposition,while anattha is a false meaning resulting from misinterpretation.

and (6)one has adopted a conviction that is not in conformity [with the teaching]. The word khanti,normally meaning"patience,"is used in relation to contemplative practice to mean one's beliefs or convictions.I base the parenthetical addition here on Mp's gloss,sasanassaanariulomikāya,"not in conformity with the teaching."
