Further, reverend Śāradvatīputra, the bodhisattvas’ seven limbs of awakening are also imperishable.

Recollection (smṛti) and the other six are causes (hetu) or helpers (sahāya) which bring about the attainment of that awakening, and therefore they are called ’limbs’. What the limbs are like is explained below." (The sahāya mentioned in Abhidharmasamuccaya p. 7416 are helpers of the bodhyanggas, not the bodhyanggas themselves).
