“Bhikkhū, there are these four bases of psychic power.
“Cattārome, bhikkhave, iddhipādā.
What four?
Katame cattāro?
It’s when a bhikkhu develops the basis of psychic power that has samādhi due to enthusiasm …
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu chandasamādhippadhānasaṅkhārasamannāgataṁ iddhipādaṁ bhāveti,

inquiry, and active effort.
vīmaṁsāsamādhippadhānasaṅkhārasamannāgataṁ iddhipādaṁ bhāveti—
These are the four bases of psychic power.
ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro iddhipādā.
By developing and cultivating these four bases of psychic power, a bhikkhu realizes 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.”
Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, catunnaṁ iddhipādānaṁ bhāvitattā bahulīkatattā bhikkhu āsavānaṁ khayā anāsavaṁ cetovimuttiṁ paññāvimuttiṁ diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṁ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharatī”ti.
