Verse 18.1
स्थानास्थानं वेत्ति प्रथमं बलं अप्रमेयबुद्धीनां ।
सर्वत्रगामिनीं च प्रतिपदं वेत्ति बलं द्वितीयं ॥ १ ॥
sthānāsthānaṃ vetti prathamaṃ balaṃ aprameyabuddhīnāṃ |
sarvatragāminīṃ ca pratipadaṃ vetti balaṃ dvitīyaṃ || 1 ||
A Buddha knows what is and what is not a causal occasion. This is the first power of the infinitely wise ones. He knows whither every course of conduct tends. This is the second power. (1)
