What are those sixty-four? [...] (29) spiritual friends is included in the wish to listen (śuśrūṣaṇa) and serving; (30) adequately grasping is included in the lightness of body and thought; (31) intensive reflection is included in being free from lassitude and desire; (32) heroic reflection is included in never neglecting causes or effects’.
