Bhāviappa-vikuvvaṇā-padam
3.222 anagare nam bhamte! bhāviappa māyl micchadithi viriyaladdhie veuvviyaladdhie vibhamganäṇaladdhie väṇārasim nagarim samohae, samohanittä rayagihe nagare räväim jāṇai-päsai?

The Topic of Creation of Protean Forms by a Self-cultivated Ascetic
Does a self-cultivated ascetic, O Lord! who is deceitful, is possessed of deluded view, and has attained energy power-potential, protean powerpotential and deluded clairvoyance power-potential, exercise his protean projection for creating the city of Varanasi and doing so, does he know and see bodies situated in the city of Rajagṛha?
"Yes, he knows and sees."
3.223 se bhamte! kim tahābhāvam jāṇai-pāsai? aṇṇahābhāvam jāṇai-pāsai? goyama! no tahabhävam jāṇai-pāsai, anṇahābhävam jāṇai-pāsai.
Does that ascetic, O Lord! know and see what is true or what is not true? O Gautama! he does not know and see what is true, but he knows and sees what is not true.
3.224 se kenatthenam bhamte! evam vuccai-no tahabhavam jäṇai-pāsai? annahabhavam jānai-pasai?
goyama! tassa nam evam bhavai-evam khalu aham rayagihe nagare samohae, samohaṇittä väṇārasie nagarte rüväim jāṇāmi-pāsāmi, sesa damsana-vivaccase bhavai se teṇattheṇam goyama! evam vuccai-no tahābhāvam jāṇai-pāsai, annahābhāvam jāṇai-pāsai.
From what standpoint, O Lord! is it said that he does not know and see what is true, he knows and sees what is not true?
O Gautama! it occurs to him: I exercised protean projection in the city of Räjagṛha and doing so, I know and see the forms situated in the city of Väräpasi. This is perversity of his view-point. O Gautama! from this standpoint, it is said that he does not know and see what is true, he knows and sees what is not true.
