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.
