19.38

Under "Attaining supernormal powers," the treatise first presents attaining supernormal powers: because Māra attains the five tainted supernormal powers, he also causes the practitioner to attain these supernormal powers. Herein, the past is the recollection of past lives, the future is the divine eye, and the present is the knowledge of others' minds. The earlier manifestation of physical forms is the base of miraculous powers; only the divine ear is not made explicit, being implicitly included within them. "Unimpeded eloquence" refers to giving rise to debate.
