Visuddhimagga XII-45

Iti imāsu dasasu iddhīsu iddhividhāyāti imasmiṃ pade adhiṭṭhānā iddhiyeva āgatā.

于此等十种神变之中,(在长部沙门果经的)「神变」一句是说决意神变。

Ñ(XII,45): So, among these ten kinds of success, only (i) success by resolve is actually mentioned in the clause 'kinds of supernormal power (success)',



Imasmiṃ panatthe vikubbanāmanomayāiddhiyopi icchitabbā eva.

但于此处(本书)亦应论及变化神变及意所成神变。

Ñ: but (ii) success as transformation and (iii) success as the mind-made [body] are needed in this sense as well.
