'learning the doctrine', the 'wording of the doctrine'.
In the 'progress of the disciple' (q.v.), 3 stages may be distinguished:
- theory,
- practice,
- realization,
i.e.
- (1) learning the wording of the doctrine (pariyatti),
- (2) practising it (patipatti),
- (3) penetrating it (pativedha) and realising its goal. (App.).
