D Pàkathàna-kamma Catukka
With respect to the place where the kammic effect takes place,
kamma is divided into four classes:
1 Akusala kamma
Immoral action which produces its effect in the four
apàya abodes.
2 Kàmàvacara-kusala kamma
Moral action in the sense-sphere that produces its effect
in the seven sensuous blissful realms (kàmaloka);
3 Råpàvacara-kusala kamma
Moral action in the fine-material sphere that produces
its effect in the sixteen råpa-realm (råpaloka);
4 Aråpàvacara-kusala kamma
Moral action in the non-material sphere that produces
its effect in the four aråpa-realms (aråpaloka).
Notes:
i In essence, it should be noted that:
a Akusala-kamma –
12 cetanà associated with 12 akusala cittas.
b Kàmàvacara-kusala kamma –
8 cetanà accompanied with 8 mahà-kusala cittas,
c Råpàvacara-kusala kamma –
5 cetanà accompanied with 5 råpàvacara kusala cittas.
d Aråpàvacara-kusala kamma –
