[723] Wisdom in the non-appearance (anupaṭṭhānatā) of all dhammas in their complete cutting-off (sammāsamuccheda) and in cessation (nirodha) is knowledge (ñāṇa) in the sense of samasīsa [evenness and end].
"All dhammas" means: the five aggregates (khandha), the twelve sense bases (āyatana), the eighteen elements (dhātu), wholesome dhammas, unwholesome dhammas, indeterminate dhammas, sense-sphere dhammas, form-sphere dhammas, formless-sphere dhammas, and unincluded dhammas (apariyāpannā dhammā).
"Complete cutting-off" means: by renunciation (nekkhamma) one completely cuts off sensual desire (kāmacchanda); by non-ill-will (abyāpāda) one completely cuts off ill will (byāpāda); by the perception of light (ālokasaññā) one completely cuts off dullness and drowsiness (thīna-middha); by non-distraction (avikkhepa) one completely cuts off restlessness (uddhacca); by the defining of dhammas (dhammavavatthāna) one completely cuts off doubt (vicikicchā); by knowledge (ñāṇa) one completely cuts off ignorance (avijjā); by gladness (pāmujja) one completely cuts off discontent (arati); by the first jhāna one completely cuts off the hindrances (nīvaraṇa) … by the path of arahantship one completely cuts off all defilements (kilesa).
