Classification of Individuals
_______
§13.Herein, to those whose rebirth-consciousness is con-
ditioned by two roots102 and conditioned by none, func-

tional javanas and ecstatic javanas103 do not arise. Like
wise, in a happy plane, resultants, accompanied by know-
ledge, also do not arise.
104 But in a woeful state they do
not also get great resultants dissociated with knowledge.
To the ‘Corruption-freed’ (Arahants), amongst those
whose rebirth-consciousness is conditioned by three roots,
no moral and immoral javanas arise. Similarly to the
Sekhas and worldlings functional javanas do not arise. Nor
do the javanas connected with misbelief and doubts arise
to the Sekhas.
105 To the Anagami individuals there are no
javanas connected with aversion.
106 But the supramun-
dane javanas are experienced only by Ariyas
107 according
to their respective capacities.
_______
§14.As they arise, it is stated that Asekhas experience
44,
108 Sekhas 56,
109 and the rest 54 110 classes of
consciousness.
102.Namely, Alobha and Adosa.
103.It is only a tihetuka individual that could develop Jhanas or attain Sainthood.
104.Owing to the inferiority of the rebirth-consciousness, tihetuka tadalambanas
do not arise.
105.Because they are eradicated on attaining Sotapatti.
106.Because an Anagami eradicates sense-desires and aversion.
107.All the four classes of Saints are called Ariyas because they far removed from
passions.
108.Namely, 18 ahetukas + 16 sobhana kriya and vipaka, + 9 rupa and arupa
kriya + 1 Arahatta Phala.
109.Namely, 7 akusalas + 21 (8 + 5 + 4 + 4) kusalas + 23 Kama vacara vipakas
+ 2 avajjanas + 3 Phalas.
110.To worldlings 54—namely, 12 akusalas + 17ahetukas + 16 sobhana kusala
and vipakas + 9 rupa and arupa kusalas.

Herein this is the classific action of individuals.

_______
Section on Planes
_______
§15.On the Sense-sphere all these foregoing thought-
processes occur according to circumstances.
On the Plane of Form (all) with the exception of java-
nas connected with aversion and retentive moments.
On the Formless Plane (all) with the exception of the
First Path, rupavacara consciousness, smiling conscious-
ness, and the lower arupa classes of consciousness.
In all planes, to those who are devoid of sense-
organs, thought-processes connected with corresponding
doors do not arise.
To those individuals without consciousness there is
absolutely no mental process whatsoever.
§16.On the Sense-sphere, according to circumstances,
80111 thought-processes are obtained; on the Plane of
Form 64;
112 on the Formless Plane 42.
113
Herein this is the section on Planes.
111.Namely, 54 Kamavacaras + 18 rupa and arupa kusalas and kriyas +
8 lokuttaras = 80.
112.Namely, 10 akusalas (excluding 2 patighas) + 9 ahetuka vipakas (excluding
kayag, hana and jivha vinnanas) + 3 ahetuka kriyas+ 16 Kamavacara kusalas
and kriyas + 10 rupa kusalas and kriyas + 8 arupa kusalas and kriyas +
8 lokuttaras = 64.
113.Namely, 10 akusalas + 1 manodvaravajjana 16 Kamavacara kusalas and kriyas
+ 8 Arupa kusalas and kriyas + 7 lokuttaras (excluding Sotapatti Magga) = 42.

§17.Thus the thought-processes connected with six
doors, as they arise, continue without any break, inter-
cepted by bhavangas, till life lasts.
Thus ends the fourth chapter in the Compendium
of Abhidhamma, entitled the Analysis of Thought-
Processes.
_______
Thought-Processes
_______
When, for instance, a visible object enters the mind
through the eye-door a thought-process runs as
follows—
Pancadvara citta vithi—Ati Mahanta Diagram IX
Atita Bhavanga Bhavanga Calana Bhavangupaccheda
*** *** ***
1 2 3
Pancadvaravajjana Cakkhu Vinnana
*** ***
4 5
Sampaticchana Santirana Votthapana
*** *** ***
6 7 8

Javana
*** *** *** *** *** *** ***
9 10 11 12 13 14 15
Tadarammana
*** ***
16 17
Immediately after this five sense-door thought-process,
the stream of consciousness subsides into bhavanga. Then
there arises a mind-door thought-process perceiving the
aforesaid visible object mentally as follows:—
Manodvarika Vithi
Manodvaravajjana
***
1
Javana
*** *** *** *** *** *** ***
2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Tadarammana
*** ***
9 10
Again the stream of consciousness subsides into bhavanga
and two more similar thought-processes arise before the
object is actually known.
