cEtasika
caitasika , fem. °kī , adj. , rarely quasi- subst. with ellipsis of dharma, sometimes written cetasika , q.v. (= Pali cetasika); in the following cait° is written except in the passages listed s.v. cet° ; mental, of the mind : often contrasted with kāyika, sometimes also with vācika; sarvakāyika-caitasika-prapīḍitāny Gv 96.4 ; kāyika-caitasikaṃ … sukhaṃ 169.10 ; kāyikaṃ caitasikaṃ ( sc. sukham) Bbh 26.2 ; cetasikena (parallel to kāyikena and vācikena) sthāmena Mv ii.260.7 ; kāyikaṃ ca me duḥkhaṃ cetasikaṃ ca Av i.31.14 ; kāyikāḥ klamāḥ caitasikāḥ (so!) apy upāyāsāḥ Bbh 194.21 ; without such contrasting words, °kī ( sc. vedanā) Mvy 7551 ; caitasikenābhyāsena Śikṣ 33.16 ; cittāni caitasika-saṃjñi ( acc. pl. of -saṃjñā) vitarkitāni LV 151.13 ; esp. with dharma, regularly pl. , mental states or conditions of existence , °kā dharmāḥ Mvy 1922 ; read cetasikā in Mv iii.66.7, 14 (ye … dharmā pratītya utpadyante, [Page233-b] so substantially with mss. , …) te … cetasikā ( Senart vedayitā; mss. in 14 cetasitā or °yitā, one ms. in 7 veṭayitā); na cittaṃ na cetasikā dharmāḥ KP 103.5 , there is no mind, no mental states of existence ; cittacaitasikānām eva dharmāṇām Bbh 99.4 , and °kā dharmāḥ 5, apparently the mindʼs mental states, states that are mental as belonging to the mind (?), cf. Pali citta-cetasikā dhammā, Dhammasaṅgaṇi 1022 ff. But in other occurrences of both together, in Pali and BHS , cittam and caitasikā dharmāḥ (cetasikā dhammā), or caitasika (usually masc. pl. ) with dh° understood, constitute a duality, the mind and mental states-of-being . (For Pali see e.g. Vism. i.84.25 cittacetasikānaṃ samaṃ sammā ca ādhānaṃ; mind and mental properties , Maung Tin.) Cf. KP 103.5 , above, and: kuśalānāṃ ca citta-caitasikānām (so read) anusmṛtir Śikṣ 33.13 , remembrance of meritorious mind and mental states . In Divy 352.15 kīdṛśās te cittacetasikāḥ (certainly sc. dharmāḥ) pravartante, kliṣṭā vākliṣṭā vā, and similarly in the sequel, the cpd. may perhaps be a Tatp. , mental states of the mind , rather than a dvandva. On the other hand cf. Sūtrāl. xi.30 , comm. , marīcikopamau dvau dharmau, cittaṃ caitasikāś ca; here the duality is obvious, and dharmāḥ is certainly to be supplied with cait°. In AbhidhK. the usual equivalent is caitta , q.v. ; note that the word dharma regularly has to be supplied, or at least is not expressed, but note LaV-P. viii.159 avasthāviśeṣo 'pi hi nāma cetasaś caitasiko bhavati (is dharmaḥ here also to be supplied with the masc. quasi- subst. caitasiko ?). As in Sūtrāl. above, they are false, delusive, illusory.
