Visuddhimagga XXII-127

Paṭhamamaggakkhaṇe pana nibbānadassanaṃ dassanasacchikiriyā.

（二）于初道的剎那见涅盘为「见证」。

Ñ(XXII,127): (ii) The seeing of nibbana at the moment of the first path is realizing as seeing.



Sesamaggakkhaṇesu bhāvanāsacchikiriyāti. Sā duvidhāpi idha adhippetā. Tasmā dassanabhāvanāvasena nibbānassa sacchikiriyā imassa ñāṇassa kiccanti veditabbaṃ.

（三）于其余诸道的剎那（证涅盘）为「修证」。因此（见证、修证）二种是这里的意义，所以由见与修而证涅盘当知为此（道）智的作用。

Ñ: At the other path moments it is realizing as developing. And it is intended as twofold here. So realizing of nibbana as seeing and as developing should be understood as a function of this knowledge.
