[825] Therein, what is knowledge of the Dhamma (dhamme ñāṇaṃ)? Wisdom in the four paths (magga) and in the four fruits (phala) is knowledge of the Dhamma.
With this Dhamma known, seen, attained, understood, and fathomed, he applies the method to the past and the future thus: 'Whatever ascetics or brahmins in the past directly knew suffering (dukkha), directly knew the origin (samudaya) of suffering, directly knew the cessation (nirodha) of suffering, directly knew the way leading to the cessation of suffering — it was just this suffering that they directly knew, it was just this origin of suffering that they directly knew, it was just this cessation of suffering that they directly knew, it was just this way leading to the cessation of suffering that they directly knew. Whatever ascetics or brahmins in the future will directly know suffering, will directly know the origin of suffering, will directly know the cessation of suffering, will directly know the way leading to the cessation of suffering — it is just this suffering that they will directly know, it is just this origin of suffering that they will directly know, it is just this cessation of suffering that they will directly know, it is just this way leading to the cessation of suffering that they will directly know.' That which therein is wisdom, understanding, … non-delusion, investigation of dhammas (dhammavicaya), right view — this is called inferential knowledge (anvaye ñāṇaṃ).
Therein, what is knowledge of encompassing (paricce ñāṇaṃ)? Here a bhikkhu understands the minds of other beings, of other persons, having encompassed them with his own mind: he understands a mind (citta) with lust as 'a mind with lust'; he understands a mind without lust as 'a mind without lust'; he understands a mind with hatred as 'a mind with hatred'; he understands a mind without hatred as 'a mind without hatred'; he understands a mind with delusion as 'a mind with delusion'; he understands a mind without delusion as 'a mind without delusion'; he understands a contracted mind as 'a contracted mind'; he understands a distracted mind as 'a distracted mind'; he understands an exalted mind as 'an exalted mind'; he understands an unexalted mind as 'an unexalted mind'; he understands a surpassable mind as 'a surpassable mind'; he understands an unsurpassable mind as 'an unsurpassable mind'; he understands a concentrated mind as 'a concentrated mind'; he understands an unconcentrated mind as 'an unconcentrated mind'; he understands a liberated mind as 'a liberated mind'; he understands an unliberated mind as 'an unliberated mind'. That which therein is wisdom, understanding, … non-delusion, investigation of dhammas, right view — this is called knowledge of encompassing.
Setting aside knowledge of the Dhamma, inferential knowledge, and knowledge of encompassing, the remaining wisdom is conventional knowledge (sammatiñāṇaṃ).
