Smṛtisaṃprajanya (स्मृतिसंप्रजन्य) refers to “recollection and awareness”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly, as Gaganagañja said to Ratnapāṇi: “Son of good family, those sixty-four dharmas are included in one hundred twenty-eight dharmas. What are those one hundred twenty-four? To wit, (1) introspection is included in investigating emptiness and one’s own essential nature; (2) restraining the senses is included in recollection and awareness (smṛtisaṃprajanya); (3) protecting external objects is included in restraining the senses and not getting distracted; (4) honoring the wise and penetrated one is included in examining one’s own faults and not seeing other’s faults; [...]’”.
