Definition in this text:

The three miracles are enumerated in UT22084-026-001-5767 and in Kimura VI–VIII: p. 49 as miraculous magical abilities (ṛddhi­prātihārya, rdzu ’phrul gyi cho ’phrul), miraculous revealing (ādeśanā­prātihārya, yongs su bstan pa’i cho ’phrul), and miraculous instructing (anuśāsana­prātihārya, rjes su bstan pa’i cho ’phrul). See also Conze (1975): p. 476, who interprets instruction as the knowledge of others’ thoughts. Nordrang Orgyan (2008): p. 231 additionally lists three alternative enumerations.
