3.121

Fourth, vigor. Regarding "only in terms of the various practices": this means that diligently cultivating the five perfections receives the name "vigor." Regarding "having its own distinct essence": this means reciting sūtras and bowing to the Buddha constitute vigor. Regarding "namely, right exertion": diligently severing the two evils and diligently producing the two goods both belong to vigor; hence, with these four together with faculties, powers, factors of awakening, and the path, they make up the eight. This again clarifies vigor in terms of the initial meaning.
