[499] In how many aspects is there penetration of the truths (saccappaṭivedha)? In how many aspects does one penetrate the truths? In four aspects there is penetration of the truths; in four aspects one penetrates the truths: one penetrates the truth of suffering (dukkha) as penetration by full understanding (pariññā); one penetrates the truth of origin as penetration by abandonment (pahāna); one penetrates the truth of cessation as penetration by realization (sacchikiriyā); one penetrates the truth of the path as penetration by development (bhāvanā). In these four aspects there is penetration of the truths. Penetrating the truths in these four aspects, one is resolved through faith (saddhādhimutta) through the power of the faith faculty (saddhindriya); one is a body-witness (kāyasakkhī) through the power of the concentration (samādhi) faculty (samādhindriya); one is attained to view (diṭṭhippatta) through the power of the wisdom faculty (paññindriya). In how many aspects is there penetration of the truths? In how many aspects does one penetrate the truths? In nine aspects there is penetration of the truths; in nine aspects one penetrates the truths: one penetrates the truth of suffering as penetration by full understanding; one penetrates the truth of origin as penetration by abandonment; one penetrates the truth of cessation as penetration by realization; one penetrates the truth of the path as penetration by development; and [there is] the penetration — by development of the truth of the path — of all dhammas [see flags], the penetration by full understanding of all formations (saṅkhārā), the penetration by abandonment of all that is unwholesome [see flags], the penetration by development of the four paths, and the penetration by realization of cessation. In these nine aspects there is penetration of the truths. Penetrating the truths in these nine aspects, one is resolved through faith through the power of the faith faculty; one is a body-witness through the power of the concentration faculty; one is attained to view through the power of the wisdom faculty.
