[683] **And having known… the conventions produced by the many (puthujjā).** "Having known" means: having known, having understood, having weighed, having judged, having clarified, having made evident that "all conditioned things (saṅkhārā) are impermanent," that "all conditioned things are suffering (dukkha)" … that "whatever is subject to origination, all that is subject to cessation" — having known, having understood, having weighed, having judged, having clarified, having made evident: thus, "and having known, he…". "Conventions (sammati)": the sixty-two speculative views (diṭṭhigata) are called conventions. "Produced by the many (puthujjā)": those conventions are produced by ordinary people (puthujjana), therefore they are "puthujjā"; or those conventions are produced by the many and various people, therefore they are "puthujjā." Thus: "and having known… the conventions produced by the many."
