[475] **Having known them, the dhammas were proclaimed by the Ascetic (samaṇa)** — having known, having understood, having weighed, having judged, having clarified, having made evident, [the dhammas] were spoken, proclaimed, told, taught, made known, established, disclosed, analyzed, made plain, and revealed. "All conditioned things (saṅkhārā) are impermanent" — [this] having known, having understood, having weighed, having judged, having clarified, having made evident, was spoken, proclaimed, told, taught, made known, established, disclosed, analyzed, made plain, and revealed. "All conditioned things are suffering (dukkha)" … "All dhammas are non-self" … "With ignorance (avijjā) as condition, volitional formations [come to be]" … "with birth as condition, aging and death [come to be]" … "With the cessation of ignorance comes the cessation of volitional formations" … "with the cessation of birth comes the cessation of aging and death" … "This is suffering" … "this is the way of practice leading to the cessation of suffering" … "These are the taints (āsava)" … "this is the way of practice leading to the cessation of the taints" … "These dhammas are to be directly known" … "These dhammas are to be fully understood" … "These dhammas are to be abandoned" … "These dhammas are to be developed" … "These dhammas are to be realized" … The origin and the passing away, the gratification, the danger, and the escape in regard to the six bases of contact (phassāyatana), the five aggregates subject to clinging, and the four great elements (mahābhūta); and "whatever is of a nature to originate, all that is of a nature to cease" — [all this] having known, having understood, having weighed, having judged, having clarified, having made evident, was spoken, proclaimed, told, taught, made known, established, disclosed, analyzed, made plain, and revealed.
For this was said by the Blessed One: "Bhikkhus, I teach the Dhamma through direct knowledge (abhiññā), not without direct knowledge. Bhikkhus, I teach the Dhamma with a basis (sanidāna), not without a basis. Bhikkhus, I teach the Dhamma with demonstrable effect (sappāṭihāriya), not without demonstrable effect. Bhikkhus, since I teach the Dhamma through direct knowledge and not without direct knowledge, teach the Dhamma with a basis and not without a basis, teach the Dhamma with demonstrable effect and not without demonstrable effect, my exhortation should be carried out, my instruction should be carried out. And it is enough, bhikkhus, for you to be contented, enough for gladness, enough for joy: the Blessed One is fully enlightened, the Dhamma is well proclaimed, the Saṅgha is practicing well." And while this exposition was being spoken, the ten-thousandfold world-system shook. Thus: **having known them, the dhammas were proclaimed by the Ascetic.** Therefore the Blessed One said:
Anger, false speech, and perplexity —
these dhammas too [exist] when the dyad exists;
one given to perplexity should train in the path of knowledge (ñāṇa);
having known them, the dhammas were proclaimed by the Ascetic.
