While trying to condense the repetition of the Bodhipakkhiyādhammā for mnemonic purposes, I ran across Buddhaghosa's version where he condenses it into a total of 14 qualities. I believe it goes something like this:
1) Saddha - Faith
2) Viriya - Energy
3) Sati - Mindfulness
4) Samadhi - Concentration
5) Panna - Wisdom
6) Chanda - Will
7) Citta - Consciousness
8) Piti - Joy
9) Passaddhi - Tranquility
10) Upekkha - Equanimity
11) Sankappa - Intention
12) Vacca - Speech
13) Kammanta - Action
14) Ajiva - Livelihood
It seems like he lumped the four frames of reference (satipatthana) into Sati, which makes sense to me. My question is, where do the four right exertions (sammappadhana) fall under?

That'd be under Energy/viriya. Also see the table on the wiki page at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodhipakkh ... mmentaries" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
