Atha kho sambahulā bhikkhū yena bhagavā tenu­pasaṅka­miṃsu; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdiṃsu. Ekamantaṃ nisinnā kho te bhikkhū bhagavantaṃ etadavocuṃ: “katamā nu kho, bhante, iddhi, katamo iddhipādo, katamā iddhi­pāda­bhāvanā, katamā iddhi­pāda­bhā­va­nāgā­minī paṭipadā”ti?

“Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu anekavihitaṃ iddhividhaṃ paccanubhoti—ekopi hutvā bahudhā hoti … pe … yāva brahmalokāpi kāyena vasaṃ vatteti—ayaṃ vuccati, bhikkhave, iddhi.

Katamo ca, bhikkhave, iddhipādo? Yo, bhikkhave, maggo, yā paṭipadā iddhilābhāya iddhi­paṭi­lābhāya saṃvattati—ayaṃ vuccati, bhikkhave, iddhipādo.

Katamā ca, bhikkhave, iddhi­pāda­bhāvanā? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu chanda­samā­dhip­pa­dhā­na­saṅ­khā­ra­saman­nā­gataṃ iddhipādaṃ bhāveti, vīriyasamādhi … pe … cittasamādhi … vīmaṃ­sā­samā­dhip­pa­dhā­na­saṅ­khā­ra­saman­nā­gataṃ iddhipādaṃ bhāveti—ayaṃ vuccati, bhikkhave, iddhi­pāda­bhāvanā.

Katamā ca, bhikkhave, iddhi­pāda­bhā­va­nāgā­minī paṭipadā? Ayameva ariyo aṭṭhaṅgiko maggo, seyyathidaṃ—sammādiṭṭhi … pe … sammāsamādhi—ayaṃ vuccati, bhikkhave, iddhi­pāda­bhā­va­nāgā­minī paṭipadā”ti.
