There are of course two sampañichana cittas and three santãraõa<br />

cittas.<br />

All the akusala-vipàka cittas and ahetuka kusala vipàka cittas,<br />

being comparatively weak as they are not aware of the senses as<br />

good or bad yet, are accompanied by neutral feeling; the exceptions<br />

are that the two body kàyaviññàõa cittas are accompanied<br />

by either painful or pleasant feeling and somanassa-santãraõa citta,<br />

which arises when the sense is excellent, is accompanied by joy.<br />

Ahetuka Kiriya Cittas<br />

The three ahetuka kiriya cittas are given the following symbols<br />

and names.<br />

If the sense-object appears at one of the five sense-doors, it is<br />

pa¤ca-dvàràvajjana which adverts consciousness towards the sense.
