Go: gotrabhu:<br />

the citta that cuts the kàma-lineage to<br />

form the exalted or mahaggata-lineage.<br />

These four cittas are known as upacàra-samàdhi<br />

javanas. In the case of a person of quick or bright wisdom<br />

(tikkha-pa¤¤à), parikamma (Pa) is excluded.<br />

Immediately after gotrabhu, råpàvacara kusala firstjhàna<br />

citta arises just once as appanà-javana. After the<br />

dissolution of this first-jhàna citta, bhavaïga-stream flows<br />

on as usual.<br />

2 The second råpàvacara-appanà vãthi arises as above<br />

allowing råpàvacara kusala second-jhàna citta to function<br />

as appanà-javana just once.<br />

3 The third råpàvacara-appanà vãthi also arises as in (1)<br />

allowing råpàvacara kusala third-jhàna citta to function<br />

as appanà-javana just once.<br />

4 The fourth råpàvacara-appanà vãthi again arises as in (1)<br />

allowing råpàvacara kusala fourth-jhàna citta to function<br />

as appanà-javana just once.<br />

5 The fifth råpàvacara-appanà vãthi arises as in (1), but instead<br />

of one of the two somanassa-sahagataü ¤àõasampayuttaü<br />

mahàkusala cittas, one of the two upekkhàsahagataü<br />

¤àõa-sampayuttaü mahàkusala cittas performs<br />

the upacàra-samàdhi javana function four or three times<br />

and råpàvacara kusala fifth jhàna citta arises just once to<br />

function as appanà-javana.<br />

Notes:<br />

1 When one is meditating on kasiõa, either somanassa or<br />

upekkhà mahàkusala citta will perform the javana function.
