[1][pts][bodh] I Hear Tell:

"Beggars, this previously unheard teaching of
'the aristocrat of truths with regard to pain'
opened my eyes and knowledge sprang up,
wisdom sprang up,
vision sprang up,
the light sprang up.

When, Beggars, it occurred to me that this previously unheard teaching of
'the aristocrat of truths with regard to pain'
must be thoroughly and precisely understood,
must be seen as true,
must be lived,
must be abandoned,
it opened my eyes and knowledge sprang up,
wisdom sprang up,
vision sprang up,
the light sprang up.

the light sprang up.
