[508] Bhikkhus, to whatever extent I wish, I understand the minds (citta) of other beings and other persons, having encompassed them with my own mind. A mind with lust (rāga) I understand as "a mind with lust"; a mind without lust I understand as "a mind without lust"; a mind with hatred … a mind without hatred … a mind with delusion … a mind without delusion … a contracted mind … a distracted mind … an exalted (mahaggata) mind … an unexalted mind … a surpassable mind … an unsurpassable mind … a concentrated mind … an unconcentrated mind … a liberated mind … an unliberated mind I understand as "an unliberated mind." Kassapa too, bhikkhus, to whatever extent he wishes, understands the minds of other beings and other persons, having encompassed them with his own mind. A mind with lust he understands as "a mind with lust" … an unliberated mind he understands as "an unliberated mind."
