[601] Bhikkhus, so long as my knowledge (ñāṇa) and vision as it really is regarding these four noble truths (ariyasacca), with its three rounds and twelve aspects thus, was not thoroughly purified, for just so long, bhikkhus, did I not claim to have fully awakened to the unsurpassed perfect awakening in this world with its devas, with its Māras, with its Brahmās, in this generation with its ascetics and brahmins, its devas and humans. But when, bhikkhus, my knowledge and vision as it really is regarding these four noble truths, with its three rounds and twelve aspects thus, was thoroughly purified, then, bhikkhus, I claimed to have fully awakened to the unsurpassed perfect awakening in this world with its devas, with its Māras, with its Brahmās, in this generation with its ascetics and brahmins, its devas and humans. And the knowledge and vision arose in me: "Unshakable is the liberation of my mind (cetovimutti); this is my last birth; now there is no renewed existence."
This is what the Blessed One said. Elated, the bhikkhus of the group of five rejoiced in the Blessed One's statement.
And while this exposition was being spoken, there arose in the Venerable Koṇḍañña the dust-free, stainless eye of Dhamma (dhammacakkhu): "Whatever is subject to origination, all that is subject to cessation."
And when the Wheel of Dhamma had been set in motion by the Blessed One, the earth-dwelling devas raised the cry: "At Bārāṇasī, in the Deer Park at Isipatana, this unsurpassed Wheel of Dhamma has been set in motion by the Blessed One, and it cannot be turned back by any ascetic or brahmin or deva or Māra or Brahmā or by anyone in the world." Having heard the cry of the earth-dwelling devas, the devas of the realm of the Four Great Kings (Cātummahārājikā) … the Tāvatiṃsa devas, the Yāma devas, the Tusita devas, the Nimmānaratī devas, the Paranimmitavasavattī devas, and the devas of Brahmā's retinue raised the cry: "At Bārāṇasī, in the Deer Park at Isipatana, this unsurpassed Wheel of Dhamma has been set in motion by the Blessed One, and it cannot be turned back by any ascetic or brahmin or deva or Māra or Brahmā or by anyone in the world."
Thus at that moment, at that instant, at that second, the cry spread as far as the Brahmā world, and this ten-thousandfold world system shook, quaked, and trembled; and an immeasurable, magnificent radiance appeared in the world, surpassing the divine majesty of the devas.
Then the Blessed One uttered this inspired utterance (udāna): "Koṇḍañña has indeed understood! Koṇḍañña has indeed understood!" Thus it was that the Venerable Koṇḍañña acquired the name "Aññākoṇḍañña" (Koṇḍañña Who Has Understood).
