2000 Abhidhamma Jnr1 Part 2 Qn 6

Write short notes on any 4 of the following

Apaya -> The 4 states of misery called Dugatti: Animal world, Hungry Ghost World, Asura World and Hell.

Kusala - Akusala -> Wholesome and Unwholesome in the Kamavacara, there are 12 akusala cittas and 8 kusala cittas. In the Rupavacara, there are 5 kusala cittas. In the arupavacara, there are 4 kusala cittas and in the lokuttaravacara, there are 4 kusala cittas.

Cattumahajajika -> This is the lowest of the sensuous heavens closest to the human realm. It is the heaven of the 4 Guardian Deities in the Kamaloka where earth deities reside.

Ditthi -> This means view or understanding. If together with -gatta, it takes on a negative connotation i.e. wrong view. However, if together with samma- ditthi, it means right understanding or view and this is the first factor of the Noble 8-fold path.

Dommanassa -> Displeasure mental feeling. This is present in 2 akusala cittas in the kamavacara.

Lokiya -> Mundame or worldly. It is not supramundane (lokuttara)
