अथ खो अञ्ञतरो भिक्खु येन भगवा तेनुपसङ्कमि; उपसङ्कमित्वा भगवन्तं अभिवादेत्वा एकमन्तं निसीदि। एकमन्तं निसिन्नो खो सो भिक्खु भगवन्तं एतदवोच:
Atha kho aññataro bhikkhu yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho so bhikkhu bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
Then a bhikkhu went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:
“‘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?”
“यं खो, भिक्खु, दुक्खे ञाणं, दुक्खसमुदये ञाणं, दुक्खनिरोधे ञाणं, दुक्खनिरोधगामिनिया पटिपदाय ञाणं—अयं वुच्चति, भिक्खु, विज्जा; एत्तावता च विज्जागतो होतीति।
“Yaṁ kho, bhikkhu, dukkhe ñāṇaṁ, dukkhasamudaye ñāṇaṁ, dukkhanirodhe ñāṇaṁ, dukkhanirodhagāminiyā paṭipadāya ñāṇaṁ—ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhu, vijjā; ettāvatā ca vijjāgato hotīti.
“Knowing about suffering, the origin of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the practice that leads to the cessation of suffering. This is called knowledge. And this is how a knowledgeable person is defined.
तस्मातिह, भिक्खु, ‘इदं दुक्खन्ऽति योगो करणीयो …पे… ‘अयं दुक्खनिरोधगामिनी पटिपदाऽति योगो करणीयो”ति।
Tasmātiha, bhikkhu, ‘idaṁ dukkhan’ti yogo karaṇīyo …pe… ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yogo karaṇīyo”ti.
That’s why you should practice meditation …”

Aṭṭhamaṁ.
