2.161

These are collectively termed 'psychic power' because true wisdom is within the four bases of mindfulness and correct vigor is within the four correct efforts; vigor and wisdom having increased, while the power of samādhi was slightly weak, one gathers the mind through attaining the four kinds of samādhi. Therefore, wisdom and samādhi become equal in power, and whatever is wished for is obtained; hence they are named 'bases of psychic power'. Since the powers of wisdom and samādhi are equal, they are able to sever defilements and latencies, which is why it is said, 'fulfilling the activities of abandonment.'
