[332] **"And may you declare the Dhamma to me"** — "you": he addresses the Blessed One. "Declare the Dhamma": "the Dhamma" means: declare, point out, teach, make known, establish, reveal, analyze, make plain, and proclaim the holy life (brahmacariya) that is good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, with its meaning and phrasing, entirely complete and pure — the four establishments of mindfulness (satipaṭṭhāna), the four right exertions (sammappadhāna), the four bases for success (iddhipāda), the five faculties (indriya), the five powers (bala), the seven factors of awakening (bojjhaṅga), the noble eightfold path, Nibbāna, and the practice leading to Nibbāna. Hence, "and may you declare the Dhamma to me."
