“पुब्बेव मे, भिक्खवे, सम्बोधा अनभिसम्बुद्धस्स बोधिसत्तस्सेव सतो एतदहोसि: ‘को नु खो मग्गो, का पटिपदा इद्धिपादभावनायाऽति? तस्स मय्हं, भिक्खवे, एतदहोसि: ‘इध भिक्खु छन्दसमाधिप्पधानसङ्खारसमन्नागतं इद्धिपादं भावेति—इति मे छन्दो न च अतिलीनो भविस्सति, न च अतिप्पग्गहितो भविस्सति, न च अज्झत्तं सङ्खित्तो भविस्सति, न च बहिद्धा विक्खित्तो भविस्सति। पच्छापुरेसञ्ञी च विहरति—यथा पुरे तथा पच्छा, यथा पच्छा तथा पुरे; यथा अधो तथा उद्धं, यथा उद्धं तथा अधो; यथा दिवा तथा रत्तिं, यथा रत्तिं तथा दिवा। इति विवटेन चेतसा अपरियोनद्धेन सप्पभासं चित्तं भावेति।
“Pubbeva me, bhikkhave, sambodhā anabhisambuddhassa bodhisattasseva sato etadahosi: ‘ko nu kho maggo, kā paṭipadā iddhipādabhāvanāyā’ti? Tassa mayhaṁ, bhikkhave, etadahosi: ‘idha bhikkhu chandasamādhippadhānasaṅkhārasamannāgataṁ iddhipādaṁ bhāveti—iti me chando na ca atilīno bhavissati, na ca atippaggahito bhavissati, na ca ajjhattaṁ saṅkhitto bhavissati, na ca bahiddhā vikkhitto bhavissati. Pacchāpuresaññī ca viharati—yathā pure tathā pacchā, yathā pacchā tathā pure; yathā adho tathā uddhaṁ, yathā uddhaṁ tathā adho; yathā divā tathā rattiṁ, yathā rattiṁ tathā divā. Iti vivaṭena cetasā apariyonaddhena sappabhāsaṁ cittaṁ bhāveti.
“Bhikkhus, before my awakening—when I was still unawakened but intent on awakening—I thought: ‘What’s the path and practice for developing the bases of psychic power?’ Then it occurred to me: ‘It’s when a bhikkhu develops the basis of psychic power that has immersion due to enthusiasm, and active effort. They think: “My enthusiasm won’t be too lax or too tense. And it’ll be neither constricted internally nor scattered externally.” And they meditate perceiving continuity: as before, so after; as after, so before; as below, so above; as above, so below; as by day, so by night; as by night, so by day. And so, with an open and unenveloped heart, they develop a mind that’s full of radiance.
वीरियसमाधि …पे… चित्तसमाधि … वीमंसासमाधिप्पधानसङ्खारसमन्नागतं इद्धिपादं भावेति—इति मे वीमंसा न च अतिलीना भविस्सति, न च अतिप्पग्गहिता भविस्सति, न च अज्झत्तं सङ्खित्ता भविस्सति, न च बहिद्धा विक्खित्ता भविस्सति। पच्छापुरेसञ्ञी च विहरति—यथा पुरे तथा पच्छा, यथा पच्छा तथा पुरे; यथा अधो तथा उद्धं, यथा उद्धं तथा अधो; यथा दिवा तथा रत्तिं यथा रत्तिं तथा दिवाऽ—इति विवटेन चेतसा अपरियोनद्धेन सप्पभासं चित्तं भावेति।
Vīriyasamādhi …pe… cittasamādhi … vīmaṁsāsamādhippadhānasaṅkhārasamannāgataṁ iddhipādaṁ bhāveti—iti me vīmaṁsā na ca atilīnā bhavissati, na ca atippaggahitā bhavissati, na ca ajjhattaṁ saṅkhittā bhavissati, na ca bahiddhā vikkhittā bhavissati. Pacchāpuresaññī ca viharati—yathā pure tathā pacchā, yathā pacchā tathā pure; yathā adho tathā uddhaṁ, yathā uddhaṁ tathā adho; yathā divā tathā rattiṁ yathā rattiṁ tathā divā’—iti vivaṭena cetasā apariyonaddhena sappabhāsaṁ cittaṁ bhāveti.
They develop the basis of psychic power that has immersion due to energy … mental development … inquiry, and active effort. They think: “My inquiry won’t be too lax or too tense. And it’ll be neither constricted internally nor scattered externally.” And they meditate perceiving continuity: as before, so after; as after, so before; as below, so above; as above, so below; as by day, so by night; as by night, so by day. And so, with an open and unenveloped heart, they develop a mind that’s full of radiance.’
एवं भावितेसु खो, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु चतूसु इद्धिपादेसु एवं बहुलीकतेसु अनेकविहितं इद्धिविधं पच्चनुभोति—एकोपि हुत्वा बहुधा होति, बहुधापि हुत्वा एको होति …पे… याव ब्रह्मलोकापि कायेन वसं वत्तेति।
Evaṁ bhāvitesu kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu catūsu iddhipādesu evaṁ bahulīkatesu anekavihitaṁ iddhividhaṁ paccanubhoti—ekopi hutvā bahudhā hoti, bahudhāpi hutvā eko hoti …pe… yāva brahmalokāpi kāyena vasaṁ vatteti.
When the four bases of psychic power have been developed and cultivated in this way, a bhikkhu wields the many kinds of psychic power: multiplying themselves and becoming one again … controlling the body as far as the Brahmā realm.
एवं भावितेसु खो, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु चतूसु इद्धिपादेसु एवं बहुलीकतेसु, आसवानं खया अनासवं चेतोविमुत्तिं पञ्ञाविमुत्तिं दिट्ठेव धम्मे सयं अभिञ्ञा सच्छिकत्वा उपसम्पज्ज विहरती”ति।
Evaṁ bhāvitesu kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu catūsu iddhipādesu evaṁ bahulīkatesu, āsavānaṁ khayā anāsavaṁ cetovimuttiṁ paññāvimuttiṁ diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṁ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharatī”ti.
When the four bases of psychic power have been developed and cultivated in this way, they realize the undefiled freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom in this very life. And they live having realized it with their own insight due to the ending of defilements.”
