The traditional list of the eight common accomplishments includes the accomplishment of the sword, pill, eye potion, swift feet, extraction of essences, celestial realm, invisibility, and the treasures below the earth. With the consecrated sword, you can fly through the sky or to celestial realms. When eating the consecrated pill, you become totally invisible and can assume any guise, just like a yaksha. When applying the consecrated eye potion, you can see both distant and subtle objects in the world. When smearing consecrated substance on your feet, you can travel around the world in a moment. By means of the mantra and the extracted essences of flowers and so forth, you can prolong your life span, regain youthſulness, and turn iron into gold.

And, finally, by revealing buried treasures of precious gems and so forth, you can fulfill the wishes of others.
