5 Fifth jhàna moral consciousness together with equanimity
and one-pointedness.
Note that the first four cittas bear ‘+’ symbols because they
contain ‘sukha’ which is the same as ‘somanassa’. The fifth citta
bears a ‘–’ symbol because it contains ‘upekkhà’.
Råpàvacara Vipàka Cittas
(Fine-material Sphere Resultant Consciousness)
The five råpàvacara vipàka cittas are designated by the same
symbols and similar names as the five råpàvacara kusala cittas.

In naming the råpàvacara vipàka cittas, just change ‘kusala’
(moral) in the names of the råpàvacara kusala cittas into ‘vipàka’
(resultant).
Råpàvacara Kiriya Cittas
(Fine-material sphere Functional consciousness)
The five råpàvacara kiriya cittas are again designated by the same
symbols and similar names as the five råpàvacara kusala cittas.
Here ‘kusala’ (moral) should be changed to ‘kiriya’ (functional).
Aråpàvacara Cittas
(Consciousness mostly experienced in Aråpa-loka)
There are 12 aråpàvacara cittas which are equally divided into
three groups of kusala, vipàka and kiriya cittas.
