Auddhatyakaukṛtya (अउद्धत्यकौकृत्य) refers to excitement (auddhatya) and regret (kaukṛtya) according to the 2nd century Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter XXVIII). Accordingly, “the obstacle of excitement (auddhatya) and regret (kaukṛtya).—Excitement is a dharma that harms the mind of the monastic (pravrajyā-citta): if a person with concentrated mind (saṃgṛhita-citta) cannot remain faithful, then what can be said of a person with a scattered mind (vikṣipta-citta)? The excited person is as uncontrollable as a mad elephant (gandhagaja) without a hook or a camel (uṣṭra) with pierced nose.—The person who is prey to regret (kaukṛtya) is like a criminal always tortured by fear (bhaya). When the arrow of regret has entered the mind, it is implanted there and cannot be torn out”.

What are those one hundred twenty-four? [...] (37) the mind without modification is included in the thought which is the same as earth and giving up aversion and attachment; (38) the absence of mental agitation is included in giving up desirous excitement and regret (auddhatyakaukṛtya) and investigating impermanently; (39) being the same as a mountain is included in being neither conceited nor depressed; (40) the undisturbed is included in never forgetting any promise and perseverance to keep vows; [...]’”.
