cattāro iddhi-pāde bahulī-karoti" ti.|| ||
[1] It is not clear to me exactly how to adapt SN 5.45.92 — 102 to the development of the cattāro iddhi-pāde. It could be that the addition of
"viveka-nissitaṃ, virāga-nissitaṃ, nirodha-nissitaṃ, vossagga-pariṇāmiṃ or
"rāga-vinaya-pariyosānaṃ, dosa-vinaya-pariyosānaṃ, moha-vinaya-pariyosānaṃ" or
amato-gadhaṃ, amataparāyaṇaṃ, amata-pariyosānaṃ or
Nibbāna-ninnaṃ Nibbāna-poṇaṃ Nibbāna-pabbhāraṃ or all of the above, was intended to be placed after each of the four developments of the cattāro iddhi-pāde, or
that each of the four developments of the Iddhipada was to be folowed by each of the steps of the Magga plus each of these four modifications, or
that each of the suttas we have here was to have been developed according to the scheme in SN 5.45, which gives four suttas for each single sutta here. The sutta numbering suggests the arrangement I have made above.
[2] Here to adapt this from SN 5.45.155, I have replaced cattāro iddhi-pāde with ariyam aṭṭhaṇgikam Maggam.
