“Imesañca panāhaṁ, āvuso, catunnaṁ satipaṭṭhānānaṁ bhāvitattā bahulīkatattā anekavihitaṁ iddhividhaṁ paccanubhomi—ekopi hutvā bahudhā homi …pe… yāva brahmalokāpi kāyena vasaṁ vattemī”ti.
“… And it’s because of developing and cultivating these four kinds of mindfulness meditation that I wield the many kinds of psychic power: multiplying myself and becoming one again … controlling the body as far as the realm of divinity.”
Dutiyaṁ.
