[261] "You, Vaccha, to whatever extent you may wish: 'May I wield the manifold kinds of psychic power (iddhividha): having been one, may I become many; having been many, may I become one; may I appear and vanish; may I go unhindered through a wall, through a rampart, through a mountain, as though through space; may I dive in and out of the earth as though it were water; may I walk upon water without it breaking, as though upon earth; may I travel cross-legged through the air, like a bird on the wing; may I touch and stroke with my hand even this moon and sun, so mighty and powerful; may I exercise mastery with the body even as far as the Brahmā world' — in each and every case you will attain the capability of realizing it, whenever there is a basis (āyatana)."
