Ñ(XIV,149): (xxvi)-(xxvii) The straight state of the [mental] body is rectitude of body. The straight state of consciousness is rectitude of consciousness. They have the characteristic of uprightness of the [mental] body and of consciousness. Their function is to crush tortuousness in the [mental] body and in consciousness. They are manifested as non-crookedness. Their proximate cause is the [mental] body and consciousness. They should be regarded as opposed to deceit, fraud, etc., which cause tortuousness in the [mental] body and in consciousness.
