1) the aspects of being a brahmin, 2) devotion todivine parentage, 3) calmness, 4) not pressuring others, 5) being withoutattachment; "abhihita" - meaning: taking up the good, 6) gentleness, 7)friendliness, 8) loving, 9) gratitude, 10) remembrance, contemplation, 11)compassion, 12) deep peacefulness, 13) nature of things
