associated with the asaïkhàrika and the sasaïkhàrika 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 appama¤¤à 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 a¤¤asamàna cetasikas and
20 sobhaõa cetasikas (viratis and appama¤¤às being
excepted).
2. The second pair of mahà-vipàka cittas is each associated
with 32 cetasikas, namely, 13 a¤¤asamàna cetasikas and
19 sobhaõa sàdhàraõa cetasikas.
3 The third pair of mahà-vipàka cittas is each associated
with 32 cetasikas, namely, 12 a¤¤asamàna cetasikas (pãti
being excepted) and 20 sobhaõa cetasikas (viratis and
appama¤¤às being excepted).
4 The fourth pair of mahà-vipàka cittas is each associated
with 31 cetasikas, namely, 12 a¤¤asamàna cetasikas (pãti
being excepted) and 19 sobhaõa-sàdhàraõa 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 appama¤¤à cetasikas, however, associate with
mahàkiriya cittas, because arahats meditate on karunà and mudità.
