What are those one hundred twenty-four? [...] (37) the mind without modification is included in the thought which is the same as earth and giving up aversion (pratighaprahāṇa) and attachment; (38) the absence of mental agitation is included in giving up desirous excitement and regret and investigating impermanently; (39) being the same as a mountain is included in being neither conceited nor depressed; (40) the undisturbed is included in never forgetting any promise and perseverance to keep vows; [...]’”.
