What are those sixty-four? [...] (5) the absence of contemptuousness is included in non-haughtiness and actions with reference to the dharma; (6) humility is included in the body without crookedness and thought without crookedness; (7) the undefiled is included in getting rid of the three defilements (trimalāpagata) and cultivating the three gates of freedom; (8) no roughness is included in no harshness and no slander; [...]’”.
