What are those one hundred twenty-four? [...] (29) no agitation is included in going and reaching to the utmost limit; (30) no objection is included in truth and delight in the dharma (dharmarati); (31) renounce is included in knowing the cause and getting rid of false views; (32) eliminating the concept of mine is included in the absence of what belongs to the ego and property; [...]’”.
