[429] "When my mind (citta) was thus concentrated, purified, bright, unblemished, rid of corruptions (upakkilesa), malleable, wieldy, steady, and attained to imperturbability, I directed my mind to the knowledge (ñāṇa) of the destruction of the taints (āsava). I directly knew as it really is: 'This is suffering (dukkha)'; I directly knew as it really is: 'This is the origin of suffering'; I directly knew as it really is: 'This is the cessation of suffering'; I directly knew as it really is: 'This is the path leading to the cessation of suffering.' I directly knew as it really is: 'These are the taints'; I directly knew as it really is: 'This is the origin of the taints'; I directly knew as it really is: 'This is the cessation of the taints'; I directly knew as it really is: 'This is the path leading to the cessation of the taints.' When I knew thus and saw thus, my mind was liberated from the taint of sensuality (kāmāsava), my mind was liberated from the taint of existence (bhavāsava), my mind was liberated from the taint of ignorance (avijjāsava) … I directly knew: 'There is nothing further for this state of being.' This, Aggivessana, was the third true knowledge (vijjā) attained by me in the last watch of the night: ignorance was dispelled, true knowledge arose; darkness was dispelled, light arose — as happens for one who dwells diligent, ardent, and resolute. But even such pleasant feeling (vedanā), Aggivessana, when it had arisen in me, did not remain overpowering my mind."
