[110] **"A bhikkhu, quenched through comprehension (saṅkhāya nibbuto bhikkhu)":** "Comprehension (saṅkhā)" is knowledge (ñāṇa): that wisdom (paññā) which is understanding, investigation … non-delusion, investigation of dhammas, right view (sammādiṭṭhi).
"Through comprehension (saṅkhāya)" means: having comprehended — having known, weighed, judged, clarified, and made evident; having comprehended — having known, weighed, judged, clarified, and made evident — that "all conditioned things (saṅkhārā) are impermanent," that "all conditioned things are suffering (dukkha)," that "all dhammas are not-self," that "with ignorance (avijjā) as condition, volitional formations [come to be]" … that "whatever is of a nature to originate, all that is of a nature to cease" — having comprehended it, having known, weighed, judged, clarified, and made evident.
Or else: having comprehended — having known, weighed, judged, clarified, and made evident — [seeing things] as impermanent; as suffering, as a disease, as a boil, as a dart … as without escape — having comprehended, having known, weighed, judged, clarified, and made evident.
"Quenched (nibbuto)" means: quenched because lust (rāga) has been extinguished; quenched because hatred (dosa) has been extinguished; quenched because delusion (moha) has been extinguished; quenched because anger, hostility, denigration, domineering, envy, avarice, deceit, hypocrisy, obstinacy, presumption, conceit, arrogance, intoxication, heedlessness, all defilements, all misconduct, all distress, all fevers, all torments, and all unwholesome volitional formations (abhisaṅkhārā) have been extinguished.
"Bhikkhu" means: a bhikkhu because of having broken seven things … one who has lived [the holy life], whose renewed existence is destroyed — he is a bhikkhu. Hence: "a bhikkhu, quenched through comprehension."
