[419] **Having known the Dhamma, he is not dependent (ñatvā dhammaṃ anissito):** *Having known (ñatvā)* means: having known, having understood, having weighed, having judged, having made clear, having made evident that "all conditioned things (saṅkhārā) are impermanent"; having known, having understood, having weighed, having judged, having made clear, having made evident that "all conditioned things are suffering (dukkha)"; that "all dhammas are not-self" …; having known, having understood, having weighed, having judged, having made clear, having made evident that "whatever is of a nature to originate, all that is of a nature to cease."
*Not dependent (anissito):* there are two dependences (nissaya): dependence through craving (taṇhā) and dependence through views (diṭṭhi) … this is dependence through craving … this is dependence through views. Having abandoned dependence through craving, having relinquished dependence through views, he is not dependent on the eye, not dependent on the ear, not dependent on the nose, not dependent on the tongue, not dependent on the body, not dependent on the mind; not dependent on forms, sounds, odors, tastes, tangibles; on family, on group, on dwelling …; not dependent on things seen, heard, sensed, or cognizable — not clinging to them, not approaching them, not adhering to them, not resolved upon them; gone out, given up, released, detached, he dwells with a mind made free of boundaries. Hence, "having known the Dhamma, he is not dependent."
