(Supramundane Consciousness—4)
_______
§ 9(Moral Supramundane Consciousness—4)
_______
(1)Sotàpatti Path-consciousness,
(2)Sakadàgàmi Path-consciousness,
(3)Anàgàmi Path-consciousness,
(4)Arahatta Path-consciousness.
These are the four types of Supramundane Moral
consciousness.
_______
(Resultant Supramundane Consciousness—4)
_______
(5)Sotàpatti Fruit-consciousness,
(6)Sakadàgàmi Fruit-consciousness
(7)Anàgàmi Fruit-consciousness
(8)Arahatta Fruit-consciousness.
These are the four types of Supramundane Moral and
Resultant consciousness. Thus end, in all, the eight types
of Supramundane Moral and Resultant consciousness.
Differing according to the four Paths, the Moral Conscious-
ness is fourfold. So are the Resultants, being their fruits.
The Supramundane should be understood as eightfold.
_______
(Summary)
Thus the “immorals” are twelve, the “Morals” are twenty-one,
the “Resultants” are thirty-six, the “Functionals” are twenty.
In the Sensuous Sphere, they say, are fifty-four types

of consciousness, in the Form-Sphere are fifteen, in the
Formless-Sphere are twelve, in the Supramundane are eight.

(121 Types Of Consciousness)
_______
§ 10.These different classes of consciousness, which thus
number eighty-nine, the wise divide into one hundred and
twenty-one.
How does consciousness which is analysed into
eighty-nine become one hundred and twenty-one?
1.The First Jhàna Sotàpatti Path-consciousness
together with initial application, sustained application,
joy, happiness, and one-pointedness,
2.The second Jhàna Sotàpatti Path-consciousness
together with sustained application, joy, happiness, and
one-pointedness,
3.The Third Jhàna Sotàpatti Path-consciousness
together with joy, happiness, and one-pointedness,
4.The Fourth Jhàna Sotàpatti Path-consciousness
together with happiness and one-pointedness,
5.The Fifth Jhàna Sotàpatti Path—consciousness
together with equanimity and one-pointedness.
These are the five types of Sotàpatti Path-consciousness.

So are the Sakadàgàmi Path-consciousness, Anàgàmi Path-
consciousness, and Arahatta Path-consciousness, making
exactly twenty classes of consciousness. Similarly there are
twenty classes of Fruit-consciousness. Thus there are forty
types of supramundane consciousness.
_______
(Summary)
1.Dividing each (supramundane) consciousness into
five kinds according to different Jhàna factors, the supra-
mundane consciousness, it is said, becomes 40.
2.As the Form-Sphere consciousness is treated as first
Jhàna consciousness and so on, even so is the supramun-
dane consciousness. The Formless-Sphere consciousness is
included in the fifth Jhàna.
3.Thus the Jhànas beginning from the first amount to
eleven, they say. The last Jhàna (i.e., the fifth) totals
twenty-three.
4.Thirty-seven are Morals, fifty-two are Resultants;
thus the wise say that there are one hundred and twenty-
one types of consciousness.
Thus ends the first chapter of the Abhidhammattha Saïgaha
which deals with the Analysis of the Consciousness.
