Having drunk the taste of solitude and the taste of peace, free from anguish and free from wrong, one drinks the taste of the joy of Dhamma.

Pavivekarasaṃ pitvā — having drunk the taste of solitude: paviveka is profound solitude, retreat. Rasa is taste, essence. Contemplative solitude has a specific taste that is only discovered by genuinely practicing it.

Rasaṃ upasamassa ca — and the taste of peace: upasama is peace, tranquility, calm. Peace also has a taste — it is not the absence of taste but a subtle and profound taste that ordinary tastes hide.

Niddaro hoti nippāpo — free from anguish and free from wrong: niddara is without anguish, without stress; nippāpa is without wrong, without impurity. The freedom described is double: emotional (without anguish) and moral (without wrong).

Dhammapītirasaṃ pivaṃ — one drinks the taste of the joy of Dhamma: dhamma-pīti-rasa is the taste of the joy of Dhamma — three nouns chained together describing an experience of profound and self-sufficient spiritual delight.
