This Dhammapada text is our third Pali-English Bilingual study edition and most ambitious project so far. This bilingual study edition of the Dhammapada not only contains a "word by word" (interverbal or paraphrased) translation of the Dhammapada besides its original Pali text but also includes the full Dhammapada commentary in a similar bilingual version, including the grammatical text. The "Ultimate Dhammapada" is the most complete edition of the Dhammapda yet published in English. It allows students of Buddhism the most direct, intimate and clearest access to the beautiful world of this gem of Buddhist literature.
