Entry 6355, Page 233, Col. 1

(cEtasika, 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; sarva- kāyika-caitasika-prapīḍitāny Gv 96.4; kāyika-caitasi- kaṃ…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 utpad- [Page233-b+ 71] yante, 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; cittacaitasi- kānām eva dharmāṇām Bbh 99.4, and °kā dharmāḥ 5, apparently the mind's 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 citta- cetasikānaṃ 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 dhar- mau, 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.
