[147]
With what is born it burns what is not yet born;
therefore it is called jhāna.
Through skill in jhāna and liberation (vimokkha),
one is not shaken among various views (diṭṭhi).
If, having concentrated, one sees with insight,
and if, while seeing with insight, one likewise concentrates,
then insight (vipassanā) and serenity (samatha) came to be,
proceeding yoked together as an equal pair.
The seeing that "volitional formations (saṅkhārā) are suffering (dukkha),
cessation is happiness" —
wisdom (paññā), emerged from both,
touches the deathless state.
One skilled in diversity and unity
knows the conduct of liberation;
through skill in the two knowledges (ñāṇa),
one is not shaken among various views.
That is knowledge in the sense of its being known, and wisdom in the sense of understanding. Hence it is said: wisdom in emergence and turning away from both is knowledge of the path (magga).
