It has an attribute, the gerund anuvicca (having examined) with its attribute, the phrase consisting of two adverbs suve (every day). The main object is the relative adverb yaṃ (whom, accusative singular). It has three attributes, the adjective compounds acchiddavuttiṃ (one with faultless conduct, accusative singular), medhāviṃ (intelligent, accusative singular) and paññāsīlasamāhitaṃ (endowed with wisdom and virtue, accusative singular). The particle ce (if; here only in place of the conjunction ca, and) serves mainly for metrical purposes.
