As explained below in \[fascicle\] thirty, there are five explanations, expounding the bodily arising of pliancy and so forth. / "Straightening the body": relieves bodily fatigue and manifests right mindfulness of mind. Due to being straight, one is not entangled and disturbed by torpor and sleepiness, and not scattered and agitated by external objects. / "Right aspiration": distinct from wrong aspiration, the mind is free of other evils. / "Dwelling in mindful turning away": the mind attains nirvāṇa, mindfulness seeks supramundane emergence and turns away from saṃsāra; hence it is called "mindful turning away." With a mind turning away from saṃsāra, it dwells in the mindfulness of uncontaminated nirvāṇa. The \*Vajracchedikā Prajñāpāramitā\* says: "dwelling in mindfulness directed straight ahead." This mindfulness directed straight ahead is turning away from saṃsāra and mindfully longing for nirvāṇa. As will be explained in detail in \[fascicle\] thirty, there are two explanations: first, as explained above; second, dwelling in concentration and turning away from non-concentration. With the mindfulness of nirvāṇa, the mind has no other thoughts, does not give rise to faults, and constantly dwells with right mindfulness directly facing it. / Explaining dharmas that accord with hindrances, it says: "notions of purity and beauty" accord with the hindrance of sensual desire; "aspects of malice" accord with the hindrance of ill will; "aspects of darkness" accord with the hindrance of torpor and sleep; "reflections on relatives, country, and immortality" accord with the hindrance of restlessness; "recollecting past laughter and play" and so forth accord with regret; "and concerning the three times" and so forth accord with doubt. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.8.23) - [Next: 8.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.8.25) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829~en-mt.8.24) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [瑜伽論記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1828.6.270) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.8.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1829.8.24) · Pramāṇa
