B Classification according to Indriya (Faculty):
1 Somanassa vedanà – pleasant feeling in mind
2 Domanassa vedanà – painful feeling in mind
3 Sukha vedanà – pleasant feeling in body
4 Dukkha vedanà – painful feeling in body
5 Upekkhà vedanà – indifferent or neutral feeling
In classification (A) sukha implies pleasant feeling either in
mind or in body while dukkha implies painful feeling either in
mind or in body.
In classification (B) sukha is divided into somanassa and sukha
whereas dukkha is divided into domanassa and dukkha. So it should
be noted that the feelings in the mind and the feelings in the
body are different and that a person can be happy even if his
body is in pain.
Classification of Cittas according to Feeling
In the Chart of Cittas, cittas are designated with five kinds of
symbols according to the five types of feeling. And in Table 1.1
(page 74) we have already classified the cittas in accordance with
the five types of feeling.
By looking at the table, the following statements can be
made.
1 Sukha vedanà is associated with only one citta – namely,
ahetuka kusala-vipàka sukha-sahagataü kàya-vi¤¤àõa citta.
2 Dukkha vedanà is also associated with only one citta –
namely, akusala-vipàka dukkha-sahagataü kàya-vi¤¤àõa citta.
3 Domanassa vedanà is associated with two dosa-måla cittas.
4 Somanassa vedanà is associated with 62 cittas – namely,
18 kàma-somanassa cittas, 12 mahaggata somanassa cittas
and 32 lokuttara somanassa cittas.
