[188] **"For thus this Dhamma is known to you"** means: thus this Dhamma is known to you — known, weighed, scrutinized, made clear, and made evident. Therefore, "thus this Dhamma is known to you." Hence that brahmin said:     I delight in this word of the Great Seer,     well proclaimed, O Gotama, free from acquisitions (upadhi).     Surely the Blessed One has abandoned suffering (dukkha),     for thus this Dhamma is known to you.
