As for the distinct names of the three wheels, the first fascicle of the *Abhidharmasamuccaya-vyākhyā* says: “First, the wheel of supernormal transformation; second, the wheel of reading thoughts; third, the wheel of admonition.” The meaning of supernormal transformation is as explained before. Supernormal transformation being the wheel itself is a karmadhāraya compound. Although it is known that this supernormal power can alter and can transform, transformation is brief while alteration is broad, so it is named after the broader. Furthermore, alteration comes first and only then can transformation arise; it is named supernormal transformation from the beginning, and the subsequent follows the initial. “Mind” refers to the minds of others, in their various distinct types. “Reading” (ji) means discerning cognition; discerning their minds is called reading thoughts (jixin). Although one can also discern other mental factors and so forth, because the mind is primary, one only speaks of reading thoughts. The reading of the mind is a tatpuruṣa compound. Reading thoughts being the wheel itself is also a karmadhāraya compound. “Teaching” (jiao) means instructing, causing their good to arise. “Admonishing” (jie) means warning and exhorting, causing their evil to cease. Teaching and admonishing being distinct is a dvandva compound. Being both teaching and admonishing is a karmadhāraya compound. Admonition being the wheel itself is explained as before. The *Yogācārabhūmi* initially named them the supernormal transformation of supernormal power, the supernormal transformation of prophecy, and the supernormal transformation of guidance. The direct realization of the wisdom of the supernormal realm is called supernormal; having authority and power is called power. Being both supernormal and power, it is called supernormal transformation. The meaning of “reading/prophesying” is as before; “saying/speech” refers to spoken words. Relying on the knowledge of others' minds, one discerns another's mind and speaks of it. The speech of discernment, or the discernment of speech. Now we take the latter explanation, because discernment is supernormal knowledge. Prophecy being the supernormal transformation itself, the meaning of teaching is as before. “Guiding” means leading; the essence of guiding is demonstrating, or its essence is admonishing. Guidance is supernormal transformation. The *Yogācārabhūmi* later named them the supernormal transformation of the supernormal realm, the supernormal transformation of prophecy, and the supernormal transformation of admonition. “Supernormal” means supernormal knowledge; “realm” means what is altered and transformed by supernormal knowledge. The spirit of the realm, or the realm of spirit. If taking the first explanation, because spirit is supernormal knowledge, the supernormal realm is supernormal transformation. The other two are also like this; all are karmadhāraya compounds. If taking the latter explanation, the supernormal transformation of the realm, because the realm is what is altered, it is a tatpuruṣa compound.
