[694] How is there success (iddhi) in the sense of succeeding due to right application (sammappayoga) in each case?
"The meaning of abandoning (pahānaṭṭha) sensual desire (kāmacchanda) succeeds through renunciation (nekkhamma)": thus there is success in the sense of succeeding due to right application in each case. "The meaning of abandoning ill will (byāpāda) succeeds through non-ill will" … "[the meaning of abandoning] dullness and drowsiness (thīna-middha) [succeeds] through the perception of light (ālokasaññā)" … "The meaning of abandoning all defilements succeeds through the path of arahantship": thus there is success in the sense of succeeding due to right application in each case. Thus there is success in the sense of succeeding due to right application in each case. These are the ten kinds of success.
The Discourse on Success (Iddhikathā) is concluded.
