What is the relationship between the definitions of *sampajañña* (clear comprehension) in SN 47.2 and SN 47.35?
From SN 47.35 (translated by Bodhi):
> “And how, bhikkhus, does a bhikkhu exercise clear comprehension? Here,
> bhikkhus, for a bhikkhu feelings are understood as they arise,
> understood as they remain present, understood as they pass away.
> Thoughts are understood as they arise, understood as they remain
> present, understood as they pass away. Perceptions are understood as
> they arise, understood as they remain present, understood as they pass
> away. It is in this way, bhikkhus, that a bhikkhu exercises clear
> comprehension.
From SN 47.2 (translated by Bodhi):
> “And how, bhikkhus, does a bhikkhu exercise clear comprehension? Here,
> bhikkhus, a bhikkhu is one who acts with clear comprehension when
> going forward and returning; when looking ahead and looking aside;
> when drawing in and extending the limbs; when wearing his robes and
> carrying his outer robe and bowl; when eating, drinking, chewing his
> food, and tasting; when defecating and urinating; when walking,
> standing, sitting, falling asleep, waking up, speaking, and keeping
> silent. It is in such a way that a bhikkhu exercises clear
> comprehension.
