it is saidvuccati:
“Mendicants, when a mendicant has two qualities they’re full of joy and happiness in this very life, and they have laid the groundwork for ending the defilements. What two? Being inspired at inspiring places, and making a suitable effort when inspired. When a mendicant possesses these two qualities they’re full of joy and happiness in this very life, and they have laid the groundwork for ending the defilements.” The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said:
at inspiring places“Saṁvejanīyaṭṭhānesu,
