[329] **"Investigating, I saw inner peace" (ajjhattasantiṃ pacinaṃ adassaṃ):** [2] inwardly, the peace (santi) of lust (rāga), the peace of hatred, the peace of delusion; the peace, the calming, the quenching, the tranquilization [1] of anger (kodha), of grudging (upanāha), of denigration (makkha), of domineering (paḷāsa), of envy (issā), of avarice (macchariya), of deceit (māyā), of hypocrisy (sāṭheyya), of obstinacy (thambha), of presumption (sārambha), of conceit (māna), of arrogance (atimāna), of vanity (mada), of heedlessness (pamāda), of all defilements (kilesa), of all misconduct, of all distress, of all fevers, of all torments, of all unwholesome volitional formations [2].
**"Investigating" (pacinaṃ):** investigating, examining, scrutinizing, weighing, judging, elucidating, making evident that "all conditioned things (saṅkhārā) are impermanent"; investigating, examining, scrutinizing, weighing, judging, elucidating, making evident that "all conditioned things are suffering (dukkha)," that "all dhammas are non-self" … that "whatever is subject to origination, all that is subject to cessation."
**"I saw" (adassaṃ):** I saw, I beheld, I perceived, I penetrated. Thus: "investigating, I saw inner peace." Therefore the Blessed One said:
"'This I assert' — that does not occur to him (Māgandiya, said the Blessed One),
[nothing] grasped after judging among dhammas;
and seeing, among views, without grasping,
investigating, I saw inner peace."
