w 122on the hadayavatthu rèpa in the heart during the whole of one lifeare capable of producing cittaja ojŒ aÊÊhamaka rèpa kalŒpas (mindproduced ojŒ as the eighth fac<strong>to</strong>r kalŒpas). Every single citta iscapable of producing a great number of these ojŒ aÊÊhamaka kalŒpaswhich spread out throughout the body.If you concentrate on the mind transparent element you will seethat many cittas supported by the hadayavatthu rèpa arecontinuously producing rèpa kalŒpas. If this is not clear at first, thenhaving concentrated on the mind transparent element, wiggle oneof your fingers back and forth. You will see large numbers of rèpakalŒpas being produced because of the mind wanting <strong>to</strong> move thefinger and you will also see these rèpas spread out through all sixsense bases of the body. <strong>The</strong>se are not transparent rèpa kalŒpas andif analysed are found <strong>to</strong> contain only eight rèpas in each.

This fire element which iscalled utu is capable of producing new utuja ojŒ aÊÊhamaka rèpakalŒpas (first generation from utu). <strong>The</strong>se utuja ojŒ aÊÊhamakakalŒpas also contain fire element and this can again produce moreutuja ojŒ aÊÊhamaka kalŒpas (second generation from utu). If thefire element is that which is present in a kammaja kalŒpa, such as acakkhu dasaka kalŒpa, then this fire element, which is utu, is capableof producing four or five generations of utuja kalŒpas as explainedabove. This happens only when the utu has reached its standingphase (thiti kŒla). It is a law of rèpas that they have strength onlywhen they reach their standing phase.Note: Oja is also present in these utuja aÊÊhamaka kalŒpas. ThisojŒ is also capable of producing generations of ŒhŒraja ojŒ aÊÊhamakawhen it receives assistance from ŒhŒraja ojŒ. <strong>The</strong>refore you should
