Kittāvatā nu kho, bhante, ‘paññavā aneḷamūgo’ti vuccatī”ti?
How is a person who is wise, no idiot defined?”

“Mendicant, they’re called wise, no idiot because they’ve developed and cultivated the seven awakening factors.

Katamesaṁ sattannaṁ?
What seven?

The awakening factors of mindfulness, investigation of principles, energy, rapture, tranquility, immersion, and equanimity.
