[553] Bhikkhus, so long as I did not directly know, as it really is (yathābhūta), the gratification (assāda) as gratification, the danger (ādīnava) as danger, and the escape (nissaraṇa) as escape in the case of these five aggregates subject to clinging (upādānakkhandhā), for so long, bhikkhus, did I not claim to have awakened to the unsurpassed perfect enlightenment (anuttarā sammāsambodhi) in the world with its devas, with its Māras, with its Brahmās, in this generation with its ascetics and brahmins, with its devas and humans. But when, bhikkhus, I directly knew, as it really is, the gratification as gratification, the danger as danger, and the escape as escape in the case of these five aggregates subject to clinging, then, bhikkhus, I claimed to have awakened to the unsurpassed perfect enlightenment in the world with its devas, with its Māras, with its Brahmās, in this generation with its ascetics and brahmins, with its devas and humans. And the knowledge (ñāṇa) and vision arose in me: "Unshakable is my liberation of mind (cetovimutti); this is my final birth; now there is no renewed existence."
