1At Sāvatthī … . Sitting to one side, that bhikkhu said to the Blessed One:

"Venerable sir, it is said, ‘true knowledge, true knowledge.’ What now, venerable sir, is true knowledge, and in what way has one arrived at true knowledge?"

"Here, bhikkhu, the instructed noble disciple understands form, its origin, its cessation, and the way leading to its cessation.

He understands feeling … perception … volitional formations … consciousness, its origin, its cessation, and the way leading to its cessation.

This is called true knowledge, and in this way one has arrived at true knowledge."

1Sāvatthinidānaṁ. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho so bhikkhu bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

"‘vijjā, vijjā’ti, bhante, vuccati. Katamā nu kho, bhante, vijjā; kittāvatā ca vijjāgato hotī"ti?

"Idha, bhikkhu, sutavā ariyasāvako rūpaṁ pajānāti, rūpasamudayaṁ … rūpanirodhaṁ … rūpanirodhagāminiṁ paṭipadāṁ pajānāti.

vedanāṁ … saññaṁ … saṅkhāre pajānāti … pe … viññāṇanirodhagāminiṁ paṭipadāṁ pajānāti.

Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhu, vijjā; ettāvatā ca vijjāgato hotī"ti.

Dutiyaṁ.
