So we may say there are seven lokiya-abhi¤¤às. But when we
count five mundane supernormal knowledge (five lokiya
abhi¤¤às), (6) and (7) are included in dibba-cakkhu. Also
catupapata¤àõa, which is the knowledge with regard to the dying
and reappearing of beings, is included in dibba-cakkhu.
In counting six abhi¤¤às, a supermundane power (lokuttara
abhi¤¤à) is added to the five lokiya abhi¤¤às. This lokuttara abhi¤¤à
is called âsavakkhaya-¤àõa.
8 âsavakkhaya-¤àõa (Arahatta-magga-¤àõa)
Knowledge associated with Arahatta-magga that can
extinct all cankers (àsava).
Chalàbhi¤¤a is an Arahat who possess the six superknowledge
mentioned above. It should be noted that the five
mundane supernormal knowledge are attainable through the
utmost perfection of mental concentration (samàdhi) and they
are the culmination of samatha-bhàvanà (tranquility-meditation).
The supermundane power, i.e. âsavakkhaya-¤àõa, is attainable
through penetrating insight (vipassanà) and it is the culmination
of vipassanà-bhàvanà (insight meditation).
