“Reverend Sāriputta, they speak of this thing called ‘knowledge’. “‘vijja, vijjā’ti, āvuso sāriputta, vuccati. What is knowledge? Katamā nu kho, āvuso, vijjā; And how is a knowledgeable person defined?” kittāvatā ca vijjāgato hotī”ti?

“Reverend, a learned noble disciple truly understands the gratification, the drawback, and the escape when it comes to form, “Idhāvuso, sutavā ariyasāvako rūpassa assādañca ādīnavañca nissaraṇañca yathābhūtaṁ pajānāti. feeling, Vedanāya …pe… perception, saññāya … choices, saṅkhārānaṁ … and consciousness. viññāṇassa assādañca ādīnavañca nissaraṇañca yathābhūtaṁ pajānāti.

This is called knowledge. Ayaṁ vuccatāvuso, vijjā; And this is how a knowledgeable person is defined.” ettāvatā ca vijjāgato hotī”ti.

Pañcamaṁ.
