[138] He is not impassioned by mental phenomena (dhammā);
having known a mental phenomenon, he is mindful (paṭissato).
With a mind (citta) free of lust he experiences it,
and does not remain clinging to it.
As, for one thus knowing a mental phenomenon
and even while experiencing feeling (vedanā),
[suffering] is worn away and not heaped up —
so he fares, mindful.
For one thus not heaping up suffering (dukkha) … he is said to be in the presence of Nibbāna.
It is in this way, Māluṅkyaputta, that the meaning of what was spoken by me in brief should be seen in detail.
