[238] **"Whatever you clearly comprehend"** (yaṃ kiñci sampajānāsi): whatever you clearly comprehend, know, know distinctly, penetrate — hence, "whatever you clearly comprehend." **"Dhotaka," (said the Blessed One)**: the Blessed One addresses that brahmin by his name, "Dhotaka." **"The Blessed One" (Bhagavā)**: this is a term of reverence … this designation "Blessed One" is a designation based on realization (sacchikā paññatti) — hence, "Dhotaka," said the Blessed One.
