[342] "Again, Kevaṭṭa, and further: here a Tathāgata arises in the world, an Arahant, a Perfectly Awakened One (sammāsambuddha) … (to be expanded here as in the Sāmaññaphala) … This too, Kevaṭṭa, is called the wonder of instruction (anusāsanipāṭihāriya). The second jhāna. The third jhāna. He enters and dwells in the fourth jhāna. This, Kevaṭṭa, is called the wonder of instruction. … He directs and inclines the mind (citta) toward knowledge (ñāṇa) and vision. This, Kevaṭṭa, is called the wonder of instruction. … He understands: 'There is nothing further for this state of being.' This is called the wonder of instruction. These, Kevaṭṭa, are the three wonders which I have made known, having realized them for myself through direct knowledge (abhiññā)."
