[264] How is wisdom in the sense of full understanding (pariññā) knowledge (ñāṇa) of suffering (dukkha); wisdom in the sense of abandoning knowledge of the origin; wisdom in the sense of realization knowledge of cessation; wisdom in the sense of development knowledge of the path?
Suffering has the sense of oppression, the sense of torment, the sense of being conditioned, the sense of change, the sense of what is to be fully understood. The origin has the sense of accumulation, the sense of source, the sense of bondage, the sense of impediment, the sense of what is to be abandoned. Cessation has the sense of escape, the sense of seclusion, the sense of the unconditioned, the sense of the deathless, the sense of what is to be realized. The path has the sense of leading out, the sense of being a cause, the sense of seeing, the sense of dominance, the sense of what is to be developed.
That is knowledge (ñāṇa) in the sense of what is known; it is wisdom in the sense of understanding. Therefore it is said: wisdom in the sense of full understanding is knowledge of suffering; wisdom in the sense of abandoning is knowledge of the origin; wisdom in the sense of realization is knowledge of cessation; wisdom in the sense of development is knowledge of the path.
