即如世尊对证得第四禅的善男子，为示修定的功德及为了要说更微细的法，曾说（一）神变、（二）天耳界智、（三）他心智、（四）宿住随念智、（五）有情死生智的五种世间的神通。用这样的表示法 ：「当他的心如是得达等持遍净洁白无垢离诸随烦恼柔软适于工作住立不动之时，则他引导其心倾向于神变。他得享受于种种的神变：即如一身而成多身等」。

[THE FIVE KINDS OF DIRECT-KNOWLEDGE]

Ñ(XII,2): In order to show the benefits of developing concentration to clansmen whose concentration has reached the fourth jhāna, and in order to teach progressively refined Dhamma, five kinds of mundane direct-knowledge have been described by the Blessed One. They are: (1) the kinds of supernormal power, described in the way beginning 'When his concentrated mind is thus purified, bright, unblemished, rid of defilement, and has become malleable, wieldy, steady, and attained to imperturbability, he directs, he inclines, his mind to the kinds of supernormal power. He wields the various kinds of supernormal power. Having been one, he becomes many …' (D.i,77); (2) the knowledge of the divine ear element; (3) the knowledge of penetration of minds; (4) the knowledge of recollection of past life; and (5) the knowledge of the passing away and reappearance of beings.

Notes in Chinese translation: 神变（iddhividha），天耳界智（dibbasotadhātuñāṇa），他心智（cetopariyañāṇa），宿住随念智（pubbenivāsānussatiñāṇa），有情死生智（sattāñaṃ cutūpapāteñāṇa=dibbacakkhuñāṇa天眼智），《解脱道论》作「神通，天耳通，他心智通，宿命通，天眼通」。

一、神变论

[(l)THE KINDS OF SUPERNORMAL POWER]

He must also have complete control of his mind in the following fourteen ways: [374]
