The Theragäthä Commentary³ distinguishes a Lesser and a Greater. Pilindavaccha knew the former and thought that the Buddha would teach him the other. The charm enabled him to travel through the air and read the thoughts of others. - [Previous: v1.c14.291](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c14.291) - [Next: v1.c14.293](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c14.293) - [Up: v1.c14](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c14) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c14.292](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.malalasekera-1937.v1.c14.292) · Pramāṇa
