In the 4th bhūmi (Rucirā) the Bodhisattva refrains from commission of any of the extreme offences, viz., patricide, matricide and arhanticide, and dissension in the Saṅgha, and stūpa-desecration; he avoids heretic views, performs the ten good deeds⁴ (kuśalakarmapatha); does not use any magical spell for injuring others, does not get depressed in danger nor becomes elated in success, remains pure in physical, mental and vocal acts, as also in his inclinations (*adhyāśaya*).
