第五三乘能起者，三乘皆起三神變。〈聲聞地〉二十五說「謂阿羅漢具八解脫靜慮等，定有大堪能、具大勢力，能善為他現三神變、教授、教誡。」故知獨覺亦能現之。要俱解脫方起三種，故有部行而不能起。又三神變即是三通，〈菩薩地〉說「諸佛菩薩與二乘者，神通威力有共不共，略由三相：一微細故，諸佛菩薩於無數量諸有情類，及彼方便諸利益事，皆如實知，無不能作。二者品類，一切神通威力品類悉皆成就。三者世界，以一切世界一切有情界為神通境。聲聞但以二千世界諸有情界為神通境，獨覺但以三千世界為神通境，由彼唯為調伏一身而修正行，非諸有情，是故最極唯以一界為神通境。」諸教多說，獨覺多以神通化物，聲聞多以記心說法，諸佛多以漏盡教誡。

Fifth, regarding those in the three vehicles who can generate [the miracles]: those in all three vehicles generate the three miracles (prātihārya). Fascicle twenty-five of the Śrāvakabhūmi states: 'That is to say, an arhat possessing the eight liberations (vimokṣa), dhyānas, and so forth definitely has great capability and possesses great power, being well able to manifest the three miracles, instruction, and admonition for others.' Therefore we know that pratyekabuddhas can also manifest them. One must be liberated both ways (ubhayatobhāgavimukta) before generating these three; hence there are those practicing in the Sarvāstivāda school who cannot generate them. Moreover, the three miracles are indeed the three superknowledges (abhijñā). The Bodhisattvabhūmi states: 'The power of the superknowledges of the buddhas and bodhisattvas and that of the two vehicles have shared and unshared aspects, briefly owing to three characteristics: First, because of their subtlety: the buddhas and bodhisattvas truly know the innumerable classes of sentient beings and their expedient means and beneficial matters, with nothing they are unable to do. Second, classes: they are fully endowed with all classes of powers of the superknowledges. Third, worlds: they take all worlds and all sentient realms as the sphere of their superknowledges. A śrāvaka takes only the sentient realms of two thousand worlds as the sphere of their superknowledges; a pratyekabuddha takes only three thousand worlds as the sphere of their superknowledges. Because they cultivate correct practice only to tame their own single person and not all sentient beings, at the very maximum they take only one world realm as the sphere of their superknowledges.' Most teachings state that pratyekabuddhas mostly transform beings through superknowledges, śrāvakas mostly explain the Dharma through reading minds, and buddhas mostly admonish through the exhaustion of outflows.
