The ahetuka cittas are regarded as ‘not beautiful’
(asobhaõa) because they are not associated with
wholesome roots, namely alobha (generosity), adosa
(goodwill) and amoha (wisdom).
10 Sobhaõa cittas – 59 or 91
If we subtract 30 asobhaõa from 89 cittas, we obtain 59
sobhaõa cittas. Or, if we subtract 30 asobhaõa cittas from
121 cittas, we get 91 sobhaõa cittas. Sobhaõa cittas are
associated with wholesome roots.
11 Jhàna cittas – 67
The 27 mahaggata cittas are known as the lokiya jhàna
cittas. Combining these with the 40 lokuttara jhàna cittas
we get 67 jhàna cittas.
Among these, there are 11 first jhàna cittas, 11 second
jhàna cittas, 11 third jhàna cittas, 11 fourth jhàna cittas,
and 23 fifth jhàna cittas. These can be easily counted
form the Chart No. 1. Note that there are 3 first jhàna
cittas in the mahaggata cittas and 8 first jhàna cittas in
lokuttara cittas; together they make up 11 first jhàna cittas.
The second, the third and the fourth jhàna cittas are
counted in the same way. In counting the fifth jhàna cittas,
all the 12 aråpàvacara cittas are included in the count –
thus we get 11+12 = 23 fifth jhàna cittas.
12 Division according to jàti (birth)
The cittas are divided into 4 classes according to jàti –
viz., akusala, kusala, vipàka and kiriya cittas.
By looking at Chart No. 1, we can divide the 54
kàmàvacara cittas into 12 akusala cittas, 8 kusala cittas, 23
vipàka cittas and 11 kiriya cittas. The 23 vipàka cittas are
collectively known as kàma- vipàka cittas, and the kiriya
cittas are known as kàma-kiriya cittas.
