Tatr·idaṃ, bhikkhave, Nandassa sati-sampajaññasmiṃ hoti. Idha, bhikkhave, Nandassa viditā vedanā uppajjanti, viditā upaṭṭhahanti, viditā abbhatthaṃ gacchanti. Viditā vitakkā uppajjanti, viditā upaṭṭhahanti, viditā abbhatthaṃ gacchanti. Viditā saññā uppajjanti, viditā upaṭṭhahanti, viditā abbhatthaṃ gacchanti. Idaṃ kho bhikkhave, Nandassa sati-sampajaññasmiṃ hoti.

This, bhikkhus, is Nanda's sati-sampajañña: here, bhikkhus, to Nanda the vedanās arise being known, they persist being known, they pass away being known. The vitakkās arise being known, they persist being known, they pass away being known. The saññās arise being known, they persist being known, they pass away being known. This, bhikkhus, is Nanda's sati-sampajañña.
