एकमन्तं निसिन्नो खो सो भिक्खु भगवन्तं एतदवोच:
Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho so bhikkhu bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
Seated to one side, that bhikkhu said to the Buddha:
“‘विज्जा, विज्जाऽति, भन्ते, वुच्चति। कतमा नु खो, भन्ते, विज्जा; कित्तावता च विज्जागतो होती”ति?
“‘vijjā, vijjā’ti, bhante, vuccati. Katamā nu kho, bhante, vijjā; kittāvatā ca vijjāgato hotī”ti?
“Sir, they speak of this thing called ‘knowledge’. What is knowledge? And how is a knowledgeable person defined?”
“इध, भिक्खु, सुतवा अरियसावको रूपं पजानाति, रूपसमुदयं … रूपनिरोधं … रूपनिरोधगामिनिं पटिपदं पजानाति। वेदनं … सञ्ञं … सङ्खारे पजानाति …पे… विञ्ञाणनिरोधगामिनिं पटिपदं पजानाति।
“Idha, bhikkhu, sutavā ariyasāvako rūpaṁ pajānāti, rūpasamudayaṁ … rūpanirodhaṁ … rūpanirodhagāminiṁ paṭipadaṁ pajānāti. Vedanaṁ … saññaṁ … saṅkhāre pajānāti …pe… viññāṇanirodhagāminiṁ paṭipadaṁ pajānāti.
“Bhikkhu, it’s when a learned noble disciple understands form, its origin, its cessation, and the practice that leads to its cessation. They understand feeling … perception … choices … consciousness, its origin, its cessation, and the practice that leads to its cessation.
अयं वुच्चति, भिक्खु, विज्जा; एत्तावता च विज्जागतो होती”ति।
Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhu, vijjā; ettāvatā ca vijjāgato hotī”ti.
This is called knowledge. And this is how a knowledgeable person is defined.”
