[1143] When the four bases of spiritual power (iddhipāda) have been developed in this way, made much of in this way, a bhikkhu knows the mind (citta) of other beings, of other persons, having encompassed it with his own mind: he understands a mind with lust (rāga) as "a mind with lust"; he understands a mind without lust as "a mind without lust"; he understands a mind with hatred as "a mind with hatred"; he understands a mind without hatred as "a mind without hatred"; he understands a mind with delusion as "a mind with delusion"; he understands a mind without delusion as "a mind without delusion"; he understands a contracted mind as "a contracted mind"; he understands a distracted mind as "a distracted mind"; he understands an exalted mind as "an exalted mind"; he understands an unexalted mind as "an unexalted mind"; he understands a surpassable mind as "a surpassable mind"; he understands an unsurpassable mind as "an unsurpassable mind"; he understands a concentrated mind as "a concentrated mind"; he understands an unconcentrated mind as "an unconcentrated mind"; he understands a liberated mind as "a liberated mind"; he understands an unliberated mind as "an unliberated mind."
