[290] **"In regard to these, elation and dejection occur"** means: there is victory and defeat; there is gain and loss; there is fame and obscurity; there is blame and praise; there is pleasure and pain (sukha-dukkha); there is joy and grief (somanassa-domanassa); there is the desirable and the undesirable (iṭṭha-aniṭṭha); there is attraction and repulsion (anunaya-paṭigha); there is elation and dejection (ugghāti-nighāti); there is favoring and opposing (anurodha-virodha). By victory the mind (citta) is elated; by defeat the mind is dejected. By gain the mind is elated; by loss the mind is dejected. By fame the mind is elated; by obscurity the mind is dejected. By praise the mind is elated; by blame the mind is dejected. By pleasure the mind is elated; by pain the mind is dejected. By joy the mind is elated; by grief the mind is dejected. By exaltation (uṇṇati) the mind is elated; by abasement (oṇati) the mind is dejected. Thus, "in regard to these, elation and dejection occur."
