n~a^nadassana visuddhi

n~a^nadassana visuddhi

'purification of knowledge and vision', is the last of the 7 purifications and a name for path-knowledge (maggan~a^na), i.e. the penetrating realization of the path of Stream-winning, Once-returning, Non-returning or Arahatship. Vis.M. XXII furnishes a detailed explanation of it (s. visuddhi, VII).

In A. IV, 41 n~a^nadassana apparently means the divine eye (dibbacakkhu, s. abhin~n~a^), being produced through concentrating the mind on light.
