50 Mahà-kusala cittas arise when ordinary worldlings (puthujjanas) and noble persons with the exception of arahats perform meritorious deeds such as dàna (alms-giving), sãla (morality) and bhàvanà (meditation). Mahà-vipàka cittas are the kamma-results of mahà-kusala cittas of past lives. They function as pañisandhi-citta (rebirth consciousness), bhavaïga-citta (subconsciousness or life-continuing consciousness) and cuti-citta (death consciousness) in human beings and devas in their present lives. Mahà-kiriya cittas arise in arahats when they perform wholesome deeds. Arahats have no attachment to anything. They expect no rewards from their wholesome deeds. So their kiriya-cittas are just functional and will not bear any kamma-results in future lives. Arahats do not have any future life. Mahà-kusala Cittas The eight mahà-kusala cittas are designated with symbols and names which resemble those of the eight lobha-måla cittas. ¤aõasam ¤aõavi ¤aõasam ¤aõavi + + + + – – – – a sa a sa a sa a sa 1 Somanassa-sahagataü ¤àõa-sampayuttaü asaïkhàrikam ekaü 2 Somanassa-sahagataü ¤àõa-sampayuttaü sasaïkhàrikam ekaü 3 Somanassa-sahagataü ¤àõa-vippayuttaü asaïkhàrikam ekaü 4 Somanassa-sahagataü ¤àõa-vippayuttaü sasaïkhàrikam ekaü

This knowledge basically means the knowledge of knowing the existence of kamma and kamma-result. So now we go: 1 One consciousness, unprompted, accompanied by joy, and associated with knowledge. 2 One consciousness, prompted, accompanied by joy, and associated with knowledge. 3 One consciousness, unprompted, accompanied by joy, and dissociated with knowledge. 4 One consciousness, prompted, accompanied by joy, and dissociated with knowledge. 5 One consciousness, unprompted, accompanied by indifference, and associated with knowledge. 6 One consciousness, prompted, accompanied by indifference, and associated with knowledge. 7 One consciousness, unprompted, accompanied by indifference, and dissociated with knowledge.
