Sāvatthi­nidānaṃ. Atha kho āyasmā ānando yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinno kho āyasmā ānando bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: 

“Katamā nu kho, bhante, iddhi, katamo iddhipādo, katamā iddhi­pāda­bhāvanā, katamā iddhi­pāda­bhā­va­nāgā­minī paṭipadā”ti? “Idhānanda, bhikkhu anekavihitaṃ iddhividhaṃ paccanubhoti—ekopi hutvā bahudhā hoti, bahudhāpi hutvā eko hoti … pe … yāva brahmalokāpi kāyena vasaṃ vatteti—ayaṃ vuccatānanda, iddhi.

Katamo cānanda, iddhipādo? Yo, ānanda, maggo yā paṭipadā iddhilābhāya iddhi­paṭi­lābhāya saṃvattati—ayaṃ vuccatānanda, iddhipādo.

Katamā cānanda, iddhi­pāda­bhāvanā? Idhānanda, bhikkhu chanda­samā­dhip­pa­dhā­na­saṅ­khā­ra­saman­nā­gataṃ iddhipādaṃ bhāveti, vīriyasamādhi … pe … cittasamādhi … vīmaṃ­sā­samā­dhip­pa­dhā­na­saṅ­khā­ra­saman­nā­gataṃ iddhipādaṃ bhāveti—ayaṃ vuccatānanda, iddhi­pāda­bhāvanā.

Katamā cānanda, iddhi­pāda­bhā­va­nāgā­minī paṭipadā? Ayameva ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo, seyyathidaṃ—sammādiṭṭhi … pe … sammāsamādhi—ayaṃ vuccatānanda, iddhi­pāda­bhā­va­nāgā­minī paṭipadā”ti.
