FAQs
It praises prajñā (clear wisdom) as something that “comes” to the truly fortunate, and describes it as inherently serene and pure.
The simile emphasizes a vivid, refined quality—suggesting a distinct, luminous character to wisdom, while pairing it with the idea of constant clarity and calm (suprasannā).
Cultivating merit and right conduct is implied to make one “fortunate,” and such fortune manifests as steady, tranquil insight rather than agitation or confusion.
