Different Combinations of Cetasika with different Cittas
-Ref. Buddha Abhidhamma by Dr. Mehm Tin Mon
Concomitants of Akusala Cittas
The name of each citta in Pàli should be consulted before enumerating the concomitants associated with the particular citta. If the citta is somanassa-sahagatam,
all the 13 annasamàna cetasikas will associate with the citta. If the citta is upekkhàsahagatam or domanassa-sahagatam, piti must be excepted from the 13 annasamànas.
1 The first lobha-mula asankhàrika citta is associated with 19 cetasikas, namely, 13 annasamàna cetasikas, 4 akusala sàdhàrana cetasikas, lobha and ditthi.
2 The second lobha-mula asankhàrika citta is associated with 19 cetasikas, namely, 13 annasamàna cetasikas, 4 akusala sàdhàrana cetasikas, lobha and màna.
3 The third lobha-mula asankhàrika citta is associated with 18 cetasikas, namely, 12 annasamàna cetasikas piti being excepted), 4 akusala-sàdhàrana cetasikas, lobha and ditthi.
4 The fourth lobha-mula asankhàrika citta is associated with 18 cetasikas, namely, 12 annasamàna cetasikas (piti being excepted), 4 akusala-sàdhàrana cetasikas, lobha and màna.
Note that the 4 lobha-mula sasankhàrika-cittas are associated with the same cetasikas as the corresponding asankhàrika cittas plus thina and middha.
5 The first lobha-mula sasankhàrika citta is associated with 21 cetasikas namely, 13 annasamàna cetasikas, 4 akusalasàdhàrana cetasikas, lobha, ditthi thina and middha.
6 The second lobha-mula sasankhàrika citta is associated
with 21 cetasikas, namely, 13 annasamàna cetasikas, 4 akusala-sàdhàrana cetasikas, lobha, màna, thina, and middha.
7 The third lobha-mula sasankhàrika citta is associated with 20 cetasikas, namely, 12 annasamàna cetasikas (piti being excepted), 4 akusala-sàdhàrana cetasikas, lobha, ditthi, thina and middha.
8 The fourth lobha-mula sasankhàrika citta is associated with 20 cetasikas, namely, 12 annasamàna cetasikas (piti being excepted), 4 akusala-sàdhàrana cetasikas, lobha, màna, thina and middha.
9 The dosa-mula asankhàrika citta is associated with 20 cetasikas namely, 12 annasamàna cetasikas (piti being excepted), 4 akusala-sàdhàrana cetasikas and 4 dosacatukka cetasikas.
10 The dosa-mula sasankhàrika citta is associated with 22
cetasikas, namely, 12 annasamàna cetasikas (piti being excepted), 4 akusala-sàdhàrana cetasikas and 4 dosa-catukka cetasikas, thina and middha.
11 The moha-mula vicikicchà-sampayutta citta is associated with 15 cetasikas, namely, 10 annasamàna cetasikas (adhimokkha, piti and chanda being excepted), 4 akusala sàdhàrana cetasikas and vicikicchà.
12 The moha-mula uddhacca-sampayutta citta is associated with 15 cetasikas, namely, 11 annasamàna cetasikas (piti and chanda being excepted) and 4 akusala-sàdhàrana cetasikas.
Concomitants of Ahetuka Cittas
1 The 10 dvipanca-vinnãna cittas are associated with only 7 sabbacitta-sãdhãrana cetasikas.
2 The somanassa-santirana citta is associated with 11 annasamãna-cetasikas (vãriya and chanda being excepted).
3 The manodvàràvajjana-citta is associated with 11 annasamàna cetasikas, (piti and chanda being excepted).
4 The hasituppàda citta is associated with 12 annasamàna cetasikas (chanda being excepted).
5 The pancadvàràvajjana-citta, the 2 sampaticchana cittas and the 2 upekkhà-santirana cittas are each associated with 10 annasamàna cetasikas (vãriya, piti and chanda being excepted).
Concomitants of Mahàkusala Cittas
1 The first pair of mahàkusala cittas is each associated with 38 cetasikas, namely, 13 annasamàna cetasikas and 25 sobhana cetasikas.
2 The second pair of mahàkusala cittas is each associated with 37 cetasikas, namely, 13 annasamàna cetasikas and 24 sobhana cetasikas (pannà being excepted)
3 The third pair of mahàkusala cittas is each associated with 37 cetasikas, namely, 12 annasamàna cetasikas (piti being excepted) and 25 sobhana cetasikas.
4 The fourth pair of mahàkusala cittas is each associated with 36 cetasikas, namely, 12 annasamàna cetasikas (piti being excepted) and 24 sobhana cetasikas (pannà being excepted).
Note that thina and middha, being immoral cetasikas, do not associate with sasankhàrika sobhana cittas. Thus the concomitants associated with the asankhàrika and the sasankhàrika in each pair are the same; the difference in intensity of the two cittas is due to the difference in strength of the two cetanàs.
Concomitants of Mahàvipaka Cittas
The vipàka-cittas, being the resultants of past kamma, do not perform any meritorious deed. Thus they are not associated with the 3 virati cetasikas and the 2 appamannà cetasikas as these cetasikas give rise to meritorious deeds.
1. The first pair of mahà-vipàka cittas is each associated with 33 cetasikas, namely, 13 annasamàna cetasikas and 20 sobhana cetasikas (viratis and appamannàs being excepted).
2. The second pair of mahà-vipàka cittas is each associated with 32 cetasikas, namely, 13 annasamàna cetasikas and 19 sobhana sàdhàrana cetasikas.
3 The third pair of mahà-vipàka cittas is each associated with 32 cetasikas, namely, 12 annasamàna cetasikas (piti being excepted) and 20 sobhana cetasikas (viratis and appamannàs being excepted).
4 The fourth pair of mahà-vipàka cittas is each associated with 31 cetasikas, namely, 12 annasamàna cetasikas (piti being excepted) and 19 sobhana-sàdhàrana cetasikas.
Concomitants of Mahàkiriya Cittas
The three virati cetasikas, being kusala-dhamma, do not associate
with mahàkiriya cittas which are avyàkata-dhammas (avyàkata –
kammically neutral). The two appamannà cetasikas, however, associate with
mahàkiriya cittas, because arahats meditate on karunà and mudità.
1 The first pair of mahàkiriya cittas are each associated with 35 cetasikas, namely, 13 annasamàna cetasikas and 22 sobhaõa-cetasikas (viratis being excepted).
2 The second pair of mahàkiriya cittas are each associated with 34 cetasikas, namely, 13 annasamàna cetasikas and 21 sobhana-cetasikas (viratis and pannà being excepted).
3 The third pair of mahàkiriya cittas are each associated with 34 cetasikas, namely, 12 annasamàna cetasikas (piti being excepted) and 22 sobhana-cetasikas (viratis being excepted).
4 The fourth pair of mahàkiriya cittas are each associated with 33 cetasikas, namely, 12 annasamàna cetasikas (piti being excepted) and 21 sobhana-cetasikas (viratis and pannà being excepted).
Concomitants of Mahaggata Cittas
In enumerating the cetasikas which associate with mahaggata cittas,
the jhàna factors must be taken into consideration: vitakka is
eliminated starting from the second jhàna, vicàra from the third
jhàna, and piti from the fourth jhàna. In the fifth jhàna, by
substituting upekkhà for sukha, there is no change in the number
of cetasikas, because both upekkhà and sukha represent vedanà cetasika.
Furthermore the three virati cetasikas do not associate with
mahaggata cittas, because these cittas concentrate on patibhàganimita
of kasina, etc., and as such they cannot take the objects
connected with the three viratis.
Karunà and mudità may associate with the first to the fourth
jhànas, because these jhànas can be developed by meditating on
karunà or mudità. In the fifth jhàna the concentration is on upekkhà,
so both karunà and mudità should be eliminated.
1 The 3 first-jhàna mahaggata cittas are each associated
with 35 cetasikas, namely, 13 annasamàna cetasikas and
22 sobhana cetasikas (viratis being excepted).
2 The 3 second-jhàna mahaggata cittas are each associated with 34 cetasikas, namely, 12 annasamàna cetasikas (vitakka being excepted) and 22 sobhana cetasikas (viratis being excepted).
3 The 3 third-jhàna mahaggata cittas are each associated with 33 cetasikas – namely, 11 annasamàna cetasikas (vitakka and vicàra being excepted) and 22 sobhana cetasikas (viratis being excepted).
4 The 3 fourth-jhàna mahaggata cittas are each associated with 32 cetasikas, namely, 10 annasamàna cetasikas (vitakka, vicàra and piti being excepted) and 22 sobhana cetasikas (viratis being excepted).
5 The 15 fifth-jhàna mahaggata cittas are each associated with 30 cetasikas, namely, 10 annasamàna cetasikas (vitakka, vicàra and piti being excepted) and 20 sobhana cetasikas (viratis and appamannàs being excepted).
Concomitants of Lokuttara Cittas
The 40 lokuttara cittas are also jhàna cittas; so the jhàna-factors
should be eliminated as mentioned above.
The three virati cetasikas, being factors of the noble Eightfold
Path, associate collectively with all the lokuttara cittas.
The two appamannà cetasikas, however, do not associate with
lokuttara cittas which concentrate on Nibbàna and as such cannot
take the objects connected with karunà and mudità.
1 The 8 first-jhàna lokuttara cittas are each associated with 36 cetasikas, namely, 13 annasamàna cetasikas and 23 sobhana cetasikas (appamannàs being excepted).
2 The 8 second-jhàna lokuttara cittas are each associated with 35 cetasikas, namely, 12 annasamàna cetasikas (vitakka being excepted) and 23 sobhana cetasikas (appamannàs being excepted).
3 The 8 third-jhàna lokuttara cittas are each associated with 34 cetasikas – namely, 11 annasamàna cetasikas (vitakka and vicàra being excepted) and 23 sobhana cetasikas (appamannàs being excepted).
4 The 8 fourth-jhàna lokuttara cittas are each associated with 33 cetasikas, namely, 10 annasamàna cetasikas (vitakka, vicàra and piti being excepted) and 23 sobhana cetasikas (appamannàs being excepted).
5 The 8 fifth-jhàna lokuttara cittas are also each associated with 33 cetasikas, namely, 10 annasamàna cetasikas (vitakka, vicàra and piti being excepted) and 23 sobhana cetasikas (appamannàs being excepted).
