[f54] _The Mahāvyutpatti_, CXLII., gives a list of thirteen terms denoting the act of comprehending with more or less definite shades of meaning: buddhi, mati, gati, mataṁ, dṛishtaṁ, abhisamitāvī, samyagavabodha, supratividdha, abhilakshita, gatiṁgata, avabodha, pratyabhijñā, and menire. [f55] Franz Pfeiffer, p. 312, Martensen, p. 29. [f56] Translated by Bhikkhu Sīlācāra. The original Pali runs as follows: Sabbābhibhū sabbavidū ’ham asmi, Sabbesu dhammesu anūpalitto, Sabbaṁjaho tanhakkhaye vimutto, Sayaṁ abhiññāya kam uddiseyyaṁ. Na me ācariyo atthi, sadiso me na vijjati, Sadevakasmiṁ lokasmiṁ na ’tthi me paṭipuggalo. Ahaṁ hi arahā loke, ahaṁ satthā anuttaro, Eko ’mhi sammasambuddho, sītibhūto ’smi nibbuto. Dīgha-Nikāya, XXVI. [f57] Ordinarily, the Chain runs as follows: 1. Ignorance (_avijjā_, _avidyā_), 2. Disposition (_sankhāra_, _saṁskāra_), 3. Consciousness (_viññāna_, _vijñāna_), 4. Name and Form (_nāmarūpa_), 5. Six Sense-organs (_saḷāyatana_, _saḍāyatana_), 6. Touch (_phassa_, _sparśa_), 7. Feeling (_vedana_), 8. Desire (_taṇhā_, _tṛshṇā_), 9. Clinging (_upādāna_), 10. Becoming (_bhāva_), 11. Birth (_jāti_), and 12. Old Age and Death (_jarāmaranaṁ_). [f58] _The Buddhacarita_, Book XIV. [f59] Nānañ ca pana me dassanaṁ udapādi akuppā me ceto-vimutti ayaṁ antimā jāti natthi dāni punabbhavo. [f60] “Thus knowing, thus seeing,” (_evam jānato evam passato_) is one of the set phrases we encounter throughout Buddhist literature, Hinayana and Mahayana. Whether or not its compilers were aware of the distinction between knowing and seeing in the sense we make now in the theory of knowledge, the coupling is of great signification. They must have been conscious of the inefficiency and insufficiency of the word “to know” in the description of the kind of knowledge one has at the moment of enlightenment. “To see” or “to see face to face” signifies the immediateness and utmost perspicuity and certainty of such knowledge. As was mentioned elsewhere, Buddhism is rich in terminology of this order of cognition. [f61] Tassa evam jānato evam passato kāmāsavāpi cittaṁ vimuccati bhavāsavāpi cittaṁ vimuccati avijjāsavāpi cittaṁ vimuccati, vimuttasmiṁ vimuttamit ñāṇaṁ hoti. Khina jāti vusitaṁ brahmacariyaṁ kataṁ karanīyam nāparaṁ itthattāyāti pajānāti. [f62] _The Brahmajāla Sutta_, p. 43. Translation by Rhys Davids.
