Passage 145
I would like to discuss the following passage:

"145. Na ca khuddamācare kiñci, yena viññū pare upavadeyyuṃ;

Sukhino va khemino hontu, sabbasattā [sabbe sattā (sī. syā.)] bhavantu sukhitattā."

These are my problems:

khuddamācare --> khuddaṃ+samācare?

Sukhino va khemino --> Sukhino vā khemino? Or rather va as enclitic shortened version of iva after long vowels? I would prefer the first explanation since I wouldn't know how to translate it otherwise.

sukhitattā --> sukhita+attā. I assume my analysis is correct but it's quite an unusual choice of words.

This would be my translation so far (the brackets depict an optional addition, the square brackets a required one):

Not even something small may one perform, so that learned/wise (people) want to criticise others.
