Godatta Sutta.—A conversation between Godatta and Cittagahapati at the Ambāṭakavana in Macchikāsaṇḍa. Godatta asks Citta about the different kinds of heart’s release (cetovimutti)—appamāṇacetovimutti, ākiñcaññācetovimutti, suññatocetovimutti and animittacetovimutti. Citta explains them and points out how, according to one view, these states are diverse both in spirit and in letter and how, according to another, they are the same in spirit, though diverse in letter.¹
