Nina: Abhi~n~naa is the special supranatural knowledge acquired
through samatha and it is also used for penetrative insight, and even
for supramundane pa~n~naa. Could we use a stronger word than
comprehension? Perhaps: penetrative understanding or penetrative
insight? Only this leads to the realisation of the deathless, nibbaana.
anabhi~n~naata: not penetrated by insight.
