Because of these powers, one is known as The Buddha.
AN10.21 Lion's Roar[]
21. The Lion Roar (Sihanada sans. Singha-nada)[]
"Bhikkhus(monks), in the evening the lion, the king of beasts, comes out from his lair, stretches his body, surveys the four quarters all around, [33] and roars his lion's roar three times. Then he sets out in search of game. For what reason? [With the thought:] 'Let me not cause harm to small creatures that might cross my track.'
"The lion, bhikkhus, is a designation for the Tathagata(Buddha), the Arahant, the Perfectly Enlightened One. When the Tathagata(Buddha) teaches the Dhamma to an assembly, this is his lion's roar. "
"Bhikkhus(Monks), there are these ten Tathagata(Buddha)'s powers that the Tathagata(Buddha) has, possessing which he claims the place of the chief bull, roars his lion's roar in the assemblies, and sets in motion the brahma wheel. What ten?
(1) "Here, the Tathagata(Buddha) understands as it really is the possible as possible and the impossible as impossible. Since the Tathagata(Buddha) understands as it really is the possible as possible and the impossible as impossible, this is a Tathagata(Buddha)'s power that the Tathagata(Buddha) has, on account of which he claims the place of the chief bull, roars his lion's roar in the assemblies, and sets in motion the brahma wheel.
(2) "Again, the Tathagata(Buddha) understands as it really is the result of the undertaking of kamma(karma/deeds) past, future, and present in terms of possibilities and causes. Since the Tathagata(Buddha) understands as it really is . . . the result of the undertaking of kamma(karma/deeds) . . . this too is a Tathagata(Buddha)'s power that the Tathagata(Buddha) has, on account of which he ... sets in motion the brahma wheel.
(3) "Again, the Tathagata(Buddha) understands as it really is the ways leading everywhere. Since the Tathagata(Buddha) understands as it really is the ways leading everywhere, this too is a Tathagata(Buddha)'s power that the Tathagata(Buddha) has, on account of which he . . . sets in motion the brahma wheel.
(4) "Again, the Tathagata(Buddha) [34] understands as it really is the world with its numerous and diverse elements. Since the Tathagata(Buddha) understands as it really is the world with its numerous and diverse elements, this too is a Tathagata(Buddha)'s power that the Tathagata(Buddha) has, on account of which . . . he sets in motion the brahma wheel.
(5) " Again, the Tathagata(Buddha) understands as it really is the diversity in the dispositions of beings. Since the Tathagata(Buddha) understands as it really is the diversity in the dispositions of beings, this too is a Tathagata(Buddha)'s power that the Tathagata(Buddha) has, on account of which . . . he sets in motion the brahma wheel.
(6) "Again, the Tathagata(Buddha) understands as it really is the superior or inferior condition of the faculties of other beings and persons. Since the Tathagata(Buddha) understands as it really is the superior or inferior condition of the faculties of other beings and persons, this too is a Tathagata(Buddha)'s power that the Tathagata(Buddha) has, on account of which . . . he sets in motion the brahma wheel.
(7) "Again, the Tathagata(Buddha) understands as it really is the defilement, the cleansing, and the emergence in regard to the jhanas(trance states), emancipations, samadhi(self absorption/trance)s, and meditative attainments. Since the Tathagata(Buddha) understands as it really is the defilement; the cleansing, and the emergence in regard to the jhanas(trance states) . . . this too is a Tathagata(Buddha)'s power that the Tathagata(Buddha) has, on account of which . . . he sets in motion the brahma wheel.
(8) "Again, the Tathagata(Buddha) recollects his manifold past abodes(of past rebirths), that is, one rebirth, two rebirths, three rebirths, four rebirths, five rebirths, ten rebirths, twenty rebirths, thirty rebirths, forty [35] rebirths, fifty rebirths, a hundred rebirths, a thousand rebirths, a hundred thousand rebirths, many eons of world-dissolution, many eons of world evolution, many eons of world-dissolution and world-evolution thus: 'There I was so named, of such a clan, with such an appearance, such was my food, such my experience of pleasure and pain, such my life. span; passing away from there, I was reborn elsewhere, and there too I was so named, of such a clan, with such an appearance, such was my food, such my experience of pleasure and pain, such my life span; passing away from there, I was reborn here.' Thus he recollects his manifold past abodes(of past rebirths) with their aspects and details. Since the Tathagata(Buddha) recollects his manifold past abodes(of past rebirths) ... with their aspects and details, this too is a Tathagata(Buddha)'s power that the Tathagata(Buddha) has, on account of which . . . he sets in motion the brahma wheel.
(9) "Again, with the divine eye, which is purified and surpasses the human, the Tathagata(Buddha) sees beings passing away and being reborn, inferior and superior, beautiful and ugly, fortunate and unfortunate, and he understands how beings fare in accordance with their kamma(karma/deeds) thus: 'These beings who engaged in misconduct by body, speech, and mind, who reviled the noble ones, held wrong view, and undertook kamma(karma/deeds) based on wrong view, with the breakup of the body, after death, have been reborn in the plane of misery, in a bad destination, in the lower world, in hell; but these beings who engaged in good conduct by body, speech, and mind, who did not revile the noble ones, who held right view, and undertook kamma(karma/deeds) based on right view, with the breakup of the body, after death, have been reborn in a good destination, in a heavenly world.' Thus with the divine eye, which is purified and surpasses the human, he sees beings passing away and being reborn, inferior and superior, beautiful and ugly, fortunate and unfortunate, and he understands how beings fare in accordance with their kamma(karma/deeds). [36] Since the Tathagata(Buddha) . . . understands how beings fare in accordance with their kamma(karma/deeds), this too is a Tathagata(Buddha)'s power that the Tathagata(Buddha) has, on account of which ... he sets in motion the brahma wheel. .
(10) "Again, with the destruction of the taints, the Tathagata(Buddha) has realized for himself with direct knowledge(abhinna, 6 supernatural knowledges), in this very life, the taintless liberation of mind, liberation by panna(divine knowledge), and having entered upon it, he dwells in it. Since the Tathagata(Buddha) has realized for himself . . . the taintless liberation of mind, liberation by panna(divine knowledge) . . . this too is a Tathagata(Buddha)'s power that the Tathagata(Buddha) has, on account of which he claims the place of the chief bull, roars his lion's roar in the assemblies, and sets in motion the brahma wheel.
"These, bhikkhus, are the ten Tathagata(Buddha)'s powers that the Tathagata(Buddha) has, possessing which he claims the place of the chief bull, roars his lion's roar in the assemblies, and sets in motion the brahma wheel."
