Parasattānanti aññesaṃ sattānaṃ. Dutiyaṃ tasseva vevacanaṃ. Ādisatīti katheti. Cetasikanti somanassadomanassaṃ adhippetaṃ. Evampi te manoti evaṃ tava mano somanassito vā domanassito vā kāmavitakkādisampayutto vā. Dutiyaṃ tasseva vevacanaṃ. Itipi te cittanti iti tava cittaṃ, idañcidañca atthaṃ cintayamānaṃ pavattatīti attho. Maṇikā nāma vijjāti cintāmaṇīti evaṃ laddhanāmā loke ekā vijjā atthi. Tāya paresaṃ cittaṃ jānātīti dīpeti.

'Of other beings' (parasattānaṃ) means of other sentient beings. The second [term] is a synonym for that itself. 'Points out' (ādisati) means speaks. 'Mental' (cetasikaṃ): joy and grief are intended. 'Thus too is your mind' (evampi te mano) means thus your mind is accompanied by joy, or accompanied by grief, or conjoined with thoughts of sensual desire and the like. The second [term] is a synonym for that itself. 'So too is your thought' (itipi te cittaṃ): so your thought occurs thinking of this and that matter—this is the meaning. 'The spell named Maṇikā' (maṇikā nāma vijjā): there is a spell in the world having acquired the name 'Cintāmaṇī'. He explains that by that one knows the mind of others.
