[720] And what, bhikkhus, is the marvel of mind-reading (ādesanāpāṭihāriya)? Here, bhikkhus, a certain one declares by means of a sign (nimitta): "Thus is your mind (mano), such is your mind, so is your mind (citta)." And even if he makes many declarations, it is exactly so and not otherwise. But here, bhikkhus, a certain one does not declare by means of a sign; rather, having heard a sound from humans, or from non-humans, or from deities, he declares: "Thus is your mind, such is your mind, so is your mind." And even if he makes many declarations, it is exactly so and not otherwise. But here, bhikkhus, a certain one does not declare by means of a sign, nor does he declare having heard a sound from humans, or from non-humans, or from deities; rather, having heard the sound of the thought (vitakka) and examination (vicāra) of one who is thinking and examining, he declares: "Thus is your mind, such is your mind, so is your mind." And even if he makes many declarations, it is exactly so and not otherwise. But here, bhikkhus, a certain one does not declare by means of a sign, nor does he declare having heard a sound from humans, or from non-humans, or from deities, nor does he declare having heard the sound of the thought and examination of one who is thinking and examining; rather, having comprehended with his own mind the mind of one who has attained a concentration (samādhi) without thought and without examination, he understands: "In whatever way the mental formations (manosaṅkhārā) of this good person are directed, immediately after this mind he will think such-and-such a thought." And even if he makes many declarations, it is exactly so and not otherwise. This, bhikkhus, is called the marvel of mind-reading.
