[383] Gladdening (sampahaṃsanā) is the conclusion of the path of Arahantship. How many characteristics has the conclusion? The conclusion has four characteristics: gladdening in the sense that the dhammas arisen therein do not overreach one another; gladdening in the sense of the single function (ekarasa) of the faculties (indriya); gladdening in the sense of carrying forward the energy appropriate thereto; gladdening in the sense of repeated practice (āsevana). Gladdening is the conclusion of the path of Arahantship; these are the four characteristics of the conclusion. Therefore it is said: the path of Arahantship is both good in its conclusion and endowed with the characteristics. Thus the mind (citta) that has gone through the three phases, good in three ways, endowed with the ten characteristics, is endowed with thought (vitakka), endowed with examination (vicāra), endowed with rapture, endowed with pleasure (sukha), endowed with steadiness (adhiṭṭhāna) of mind, endowed with faith (saddhā), endowed with energy, endowed with mindfulness, endowed with concentration (samādhi), and endowed with wisdom (paññā) …
[383] The sign (nimitta), the in-breaths and out-breaths,
are not the object of a single mind;
for one who does not know these three dhammas,
development (bhāvanā) is not obtained.
