    This verse consists of two syntactically separate sentences. They are:
    1) paravajjānupassissa niccaṃ ujjhānasaññino āsavā tassa vaḍḍhanti (who finds faults with others and is always irritable, his taints only grow). The subject is the noun āsavā (taints, nominative plural). It has an attribute, the pronoun tassa (his, genitive singular). This word has two attributes, the compounds paravajjānupassissa (of the one who finds faults with others, genitive singular) and ujjhānasaññino (of the one who is irritable, genitive singular). The last of them has its own attribute, the adverb niccaṃ (always). The verb is vaḍḍhanti (grow, 3^rd person, plural, active, indicative, present tense).
    2) ārā so āsavakkhayā (he is far away from dissolution of taints). The subject is the pronoun so (he, nominative singular). The verb is omitted, implying the verb "to be". The object is the compound āsavakkhayā (from dissolution of taints, ablative singular). It has an attribute, the adverb ārā (far away).

    There was a monk named Ujjhāna Saññi. He was always finding faults with others, very easy to get angry and speaking ill of people. When the Buddha found out, he spoke this verse. He also added that sometimes finding faults with others is good. When we see somebody to misbehave and we try to teach him good ways - that is worthy of praise. But if we do it out of spite and malice, then we won't be able to achieve concentration and therefore we get further and further away from the Awakenment.
