[197] **"Certainly he has crossed this flood" (addhā hi so oghamimaṃ atāri):** The word "certainly" (addhā) is an expression of certainty (ekaṃsavacana) … this word "certainly" (addhā) is an expression of definiteness (avatthānavacana). **"Flood" (ogha):** the flood of sensuality (kāmogha), the flood of existence (bhavogha), the flood of views (diṭṭhogha), the flood of ignorance (avijjogha). **"Has crossed" (atāri):** he has crossed, crossed over, crossed beyond, transcended, and passed beyond — thus, "certainly he has crossed this flood."
