[783] Four discriminations (paṭisambhidā): the discrimination of meanings (attha-paṭisambhidā), the discrimination of dhammas (dhamma-paṭisambhidā), the discrimination of language (nirutti-paṭisambhidā), and the discrimination of ready wit (paṭibhāṇa-paṭisambhidā).
Therein, which is the discrimination of dhammas? Here a bhikkhu knows the Dhamma — the discourses (sutta), the discourses mixed with verses (geyya), the prose-expositions (veyyākaraṇa), the verses (gāthā), the verses of uplift (udāna), the Thus-said discourses (itivuttaka), the birth-stories (jātaka), the marvellous ideas (abbhūtadhamma), and the question-and-answer texts (vedalla) — this is called the discrimination of dhammas. He knows the meaning of each and every utterance: "This is the meaning of this utterance; this is the meaning of this utterance" — this is called the discrimination of meanings. Therein, knowledge (ñāṇa) with regard to the utterance of the language of dhamma (dhammaniruttābhilāpa) is the discrimination of language. Knowledge with regard to knowledges is the discrimination of ready wit.
The Analysis According to the Suttantas (Suttantabhājanīya).
