There is nothing unknown, unseen, unrecognized, unexperienced by the Blessed One with his wisdom.
All phenomena, past, future, and present, come into the range of the knowing of the Tathāgata, the Blessed One, in all aspects.
Whatever is to be known, all that is to be known.
Whether it is for one's own benefit, for the benefit of others, or for the benefit of both, whether it is a present benefit, a future benefit, an evident benefit, a profound benefit, a hidden benefit, a concealed benefit, a benefit to be known, a benefit that has been known, a blameless benefit, a benefit free from defilements, a pure benefit, an ultimate benefit, all that revolves within the knowing of the Tathāgata.

The world with its gods, Maras, Brahmas, ascetics, and Brahmins, with its beings, gods, and humans, revolves within the Tathāgata's knowing.
Just as all fish and turtles, including the great whales, revolve within the great ocean, In the same way, the world with its gods, Maras, Brahmas, ascetics, and Brahmins, with its beings, gods, and humans, revolves within the Tathāgata's knowing.
Just as all birds, including the great Garuda, revolve within the sky, In the same way, even those as wise as Sariputta revolve within the domain of the Tathāgata's knowing.
The Tathāgata's knowing encompasses and surpasses the wisdom of gods and humans.
Even the wise Kshatriyas, Brahmins, householders, and ascetics, skilled in debate, who wander about breaking others views with their wisdom, come to the Tathagata with their questions, both hidden and open.
Those questions, when asked, are answered and explained by the Blessed One.
They are resolved and clarified by the Blessed One.
