(A right believer) knows the ignorance, the cause of ignorance, the cessation of ignorance, the means of the cessation of ignorance, 'not knowing what is pain, what is the cause of pain, what is the cessation of pain, what is the means of cessation of pain is ignorance. Rise of asavas (impure thoughts) is the cause of ignorance, cessation of asava is the cessation of ignorance. This eight-fold path is the means of the cessation of ignorance.
