　　"”This has come to be”[56] — do you see that, Saariputta

　　"

　　"”This has come to be”[57] — that, O Lord, one sees with true wisdom,[58] as it really is. And having seen with true wisdom, as it really is, that ”this has come to be,” one is on the way[59] towards revulsion from what has come to be, towards dispassion and cessation.

　　"”Produced by such nutriment” — that one sees, with true wisdom, as it really is. And having seen, with true wisdom, as it really is, that ”this has been produced by such nutriment,” one is on the way towards revulsion from its production by nutriment, towards dispassion and cessation.

　　"”By the cessation of nutriment, that what has come to be is bound to cease”[60] — that one sees with true wisdom, as it really is. And having seen, with true wisdom, as it really is, that ”By the cessation of that nutriment, what has come to be is bound to cease,” one is on the way towards revulsion from what is liable to cease, towards dispassion and cessation. Thus, O Lord, is one in higher training."[61]

　　"And how, O Lord, is one a comprehender of Dhamma

And having seen with true wisdom, as it really is, that ”this has come to be,” then, through revulsion from what has come to be, through dispassion (concerning it) and the cessation (of it), one is liberated without any clinging.[63]

　　§ 7. Nutriment as Basis of Right Understanding

　　...Then the monks put another question to the venerable Saariputta: "Friend, could there be another way in which a noble disciple can be said to be one of Right Understanding, whose view is upright, who is possessed of steadfast confidence in the Dhamma, who has attained to this good teaching

　　"

　　"There could be, friends. If, friends, a noble disciple knows nutriment, knows the origin of nutriment, knows the ceasing of nutriment, and knows the way leading to the ceasing of nutriment, then he is, in so far, one of Right Understanding, whose view is upright, who is possessed of steadfast confidence in the Dhamma, who has attained to this good teaching.

　　"And what is nutriment

　　 There are four nutriments for the sustenance of beings born, and for the support of beings seeking birth. What are the four
