[333] "With his mind (citta) thus concentrated (samādhi) — purified, cleansed, unblemished, rid of defilements, become malleable, workable, steady, and attained to imperturbability — he directs and inclines his mind to the knowledge (ñāṇa) of encompassing the minds of others (cetopariyañāṇa). Having encompassed with his own mind the minds of other beings, of other persons, he understands them: a mind with lust (rāga) he understands as 'a mind with lust'; a mind without lust he understands as 'a mind without lust'; a mind with hatred he understands as 'a mind with hatred'; a mind without hatred he understands as 'a mind without hatred'; a mind with delusion he understands as 'a mind with delusion'; a mind without delusion he understands as 'a mind without delusion'; a constricted mind he understands as 'a constricted mind'; a scattered mind he understands as 'a scattered mind'; an exalted mind he understands as 'an exalted mind'; an unexalted mind he understands as 'an unexalted mind'; a surpassable mind he understands as 'a surpassable mind'; an unsurpassable mind he understands as 'an unsurpassable mind'; a concentrated mind he understands as 'a concentrated mind'; an unconcentrated mind he understands as 'an unconcentrated mind'; a liberated mind he understands as 'a liberated mind'; an unliberated mind he understands as 'an unliberated mind'.
"Just as, young brahmin (māṇava), a woman or a man — young, youthful, fond of adornment — examining the reflection of his or her own face in a mirror that is pure and clear, or in a bowl of clear water, would know, if it has a mole, 'it has a mole,' or, if it has no mole, 'it has no mole'; even so, young brahmin, a bhikkhu … Inasmuch, young brahmin, as a bhikkhu, with his mind thus concentrated … attained to imperturbability, directs and inclines his mind to the knowledge of encompassing the minds of others; and having encompassed with his own mind the minds of other beings, of other persons, he understands them: a mind with lust he understands as 'a mind with lust' … an unliberated mind he understands as 'an unliberated mind' — this too pertains to his wisdom."
