4 arupavacara kusala cittas

4 arupavacara kiriyacittas12 arupa-jhanacitta of 5 stages
8 lokuttara cittas
(or four, when lokuttara cittas accompanied by the jhana-factors of the different stages of jhana are taken into account.)
6 Sobhana Cetasikas which do not accompany each sobhana Citta:
- abstinence from wrong speech, vaciduccarita virati
- abstinence from wrong, kayaduccarita virati
- abstinence from wrong livelihood, ajivaduccarita virati
- compassion, karuna
- sympathetic joy, mudita
- understanding or wisdom, panna
Thus, altogether there are 25 sobhana cetasikas, of which 19 arise with each sobhana citta and 6 do not arise with each sobhana citta. The 3 abstinences (the virati cetasikas) can accompany the following cittas:
- 8 maha-kusala cittas which are of the sense-sphere (kamavacara cittas)
- 8 (or 4) lokuttara cittas which are always accompanied by all 3 abstinences
Compassion (karuna) can accompany the following cittas:
- 8 maha-kusala cittas
- 8 maha-kiriya cittas
- 8 rupavacara-cittas
(the rupavacara kusala cittas, vipakacittas and kiriyacittas of the first, second, third and 4th stage of jhana (of the fivefold system)).
Thus, compassion joy can accompany twenty-8 types of citta.
Sympathetic joy (mudita) can accompany the following cittas:
- 8 maha-kusala cittas
- 8 maha-kiriyacittas
- 12 rupavacara cittas
Thus, sympathetic joy can accompany twenty-8 types of citta in all.
Understanding (panna) accompanies the following cittas:
- 4 maha-kusala cittas (those which are called: nana-sampayutta, accompanied by understanding)
- 4 maha-vipakacittas (nana-sampayutta)
- 4 maha-kiriyacittas (nana-sampayutta)
- 5 rupavacara kusala cittas (of the 5 stages of rupa-jhana)
- 5 rupavacara vipakacittas
- 5 arupavacara kiriyacittas
- 4 arupavacara kusala cittas (of the 5 stages of rupa-jhana)
- 4 rupavacara vipacacittas
- 4 arupavacara kiriyacittas
- 8 lokuttara cittas
Thus, understanding accompanies 4-7 types of citta in all 12 kamavacara cittas, 15 rupavacara cittas, 12 arupavacara cittas and 8 lokuttara cittas.
When 4 lokuttara cittas are counted instead of 8, namely, lokuttara cittas accompanied by the jhana-factors of the 5 stages of jhana, there are 79 cittas in all accompanied by understanding.
