Visuddhimagga XII-25

372. ‘‘Idha bhikkhu imamhā kāyā aññaṃ kāyaṃ abhinimmināti rūpiṃ manomaya’’nti (paṭi. ma. 3.14) iminā nayena āgatā iddhi sarīrabbhantare aññasseva manomayassa sarīrassa nipphattivasena pavattattā manomayā iddhi nāma.

（三）（意所成神变）「兹有比丘，即从此身，化作另一个由意所成的有色之身」，像这样所说的神变，是由自己的内身而起另一个的意所成之身，故名「意所成神变」。

Ñ(XII,25): (iii) That given in this way, 'Here a bhikkhu creates out of this body another body possessing visible form, mind-made' (Ps.ii,210), is called success as the mind-made (body) because it occurs as the production of another, mind-made, body inside the body.
