Introduction

Vijānata plus object

Vijānata associated with an object means ‘one who knows’ or ‘one who understands’:

• He mindfully conducts himself in such a way that when knowing a mentally known object or encountering a sense impression [within himself], [attachment] is exhausted not built up.

Yathāssa vijānato dhammaṁ sevato vāpi vedanaṁ
Khīyati no pacīyati evaṁ so caratī sato. (SN iv 76)

Often it is linked to ‘the teaching,’ where it means ‘one who understands’:

• Long is the round of birth and death for the fool who does not understand the true teaching.

Dīgho bālānaṁ saṁsāro saddhammaṁ avijānataṁ. (Dhp 60)

Vijānata minus object: parenthesising an object

Without an object, various passages show that vijānata’s object is ‘the teaching’:

• He listens but does not understand [the teaching], he looks but does not see [the nature of reality]. Though the teaching is being spoken, the fool does not understand the meaning.

Suṇāti na vijānāti āloketi na passati
Dhammasmiṁ bhaññamānasmiṁ atthaṁ bālo na bujjhati. (SN i 198)

• When the teaching has been so well explained, how can one who understands [it] be negligent [in practising it]?

Evaṁ sudesite dhamme ko pamādo vijānataṁ. (SN i 193)
