“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,
energy …
vīriyasamādhi …pe…
mental development …
cittasamādhi …
inquiry, and active effort.
vīmaṁsāsamādhippadhānasaṅkhārasamannāgataṁ iddhipādaṁ bhāveti—
These are the four bases of psychic power.
ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro iddhipādā.
Because of developing and cultivating these four bases of psychic power, seven fruits and benefits can be expected.
Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, catunnaṁ iddhipādānaṁ bhāvitattā bahulīkatattā satta phalā sattānisaṁsā pāṭikaṅkhā.
What seven?
Katame satta phalā sattānisaṁsā?
They attain enlightenment early on in this very life.
Diṭṭheva dhamme paṭikacca aññaṁ ārādheti
If not, they attain enlightenment at the time of death.
no ce diṭṭheva dhamme paṭikacca aññaṁ ārādheti; atha maraṇakāle aññaṁ ārādheti,
If not, with the ending of the five lower fetters, they’re extinguished between one life and the next … they’re extinguished upon landing … they’re extinguished without extra effort … they’re extinguished with extra effort … they head upstream, going to the Akaniṭṭha realm.
no ce diṭṭheva dhamme paṭikacca aññaṁ ārādheti, no ce maraṇakāle aññaṁ ārādheti; atha pañcannaṁ orambhāgiyānaṁ saṁyojanānaṁ parikkhayā antarāparinibbāyī hoti, upahaccaparinibbāyī hoti, asaṅkhāraparinibbāyī hoti, sasaṅkhāraparinibbāyī hoti, uddhaṁsoto hoti akaniṭṭhagāmī.
Because of developing and cultivating these four bases of psychic power, these seven fruits and benefits can be expected.”
Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, catunnaṁ iddhipādānaṁ bhāvitattā bahulīkatattā ime satta phalā sattānisaṁsā pāṭikaṅkhā”ti.
