    This verse consists of two syntactically separate sentences. They are:
    1) etaṃ hi tumhe paṭipannā dukkhassantaṃ karissatha (having entered upon this path, you will make an end of suffering). The subject is the pronoun tumhe (you, vocative plural). It has an attribute, the past participle paṭipannā (having entered upon, nominative plural). This word has the pronoun etaṃ (this, accusative singular) as its attribute. It is stressed by the particle hi (indeed, just). The verb is karissatha (you will do, 2^nd person, singular, active, future). The object is the noun antaṃ (end, accusative singular). It has an attribute, the noun dukkhassa (of suffering, genitive singular).
    2) akkhāto vo mayā maggo aññāya sallasanthanaṃ (having realized how to remove the arrow, I taught this path to you). The subject is the noun maggo (path, nominative singular). It has an attribute, the pronoun mayā (by me, instrumental singular). There is a clause dependent on this word: aññāya sallasanthanaṃ (having realized how to remove the arrow). Here the verb is in gerund, aññāya (having realized). The object is the compound sallasanthanaṃ (removal of arrow, accusative singular). The subject of the sentence has another attribute, the pronoun vo (to you, accusative plural). The verb is omitted, implying the verb "to be". The object is the past participle akkhāto (taught, nominative singular).

    The story for this verse is identical with the one for the previous verses (DhP 273, DhP 274) and the following one (DhP 276).
    The Buddha taught the teaching that he personally discovered. He taught from his own experience. He found out how to "remove the arrow", or how to end the suffering. He then proclaimed this path for everyone to follow. By doing so, we are able to do what the Buddha did - to put an end to suffering forever.
