[681] **A brahmin (brāhmaṇa) does not enter upon a mental construct (kappa), having known through reckoning (saṅkhā):** "not" (na) is a term of negation. **A brahmin:** one is a brahmin because of having banished the seven dhammas … independent, such (tādī), he is called a brahmā. **Constructs (kappā):** there are two constructs: the construct of craving (taṇhā) and the construct of views … this is the construct of craving … this is the construct of views. **Reckoning (saṅkhā)** is a term for knowledge (ñāṇa): the wisdom which is understanding … non-delusion, investigation of dhammas, right view. **A brahmin does not enter upon a construct, having known through reckoning:** the brahmin — having known through reckoning, having weighed, having judged, having elucidated, and having made evident that "all conditioned things are impermanent," that "all conditioned things are suffering (dukkha)" … that "whatever is of a nature to originate, all that is of a nature to cease"; having known through reckoning, having weighed, having judged, having elucidated, and having made evident — does not enter upon, does not approach, does not grasp, does not adhere to, does not insist upon either the construct of craving or the construct of views. Hence, "a brahmin does not enter upon a construct, having known through reckoning."
