What is the action of intention (cetanākarman)? It is an action of the mind that is a thought impulse (cittābhisaṃskāra). It is meritorious, demeritorious, or [leading to] immovability.
What is the "action after having intended"? It is bodily, verbal and mental action.
Moreover, those actions of body, speech and mind are [either] wholesome (kuśala) or unwholesome (akuśala).
Unwholesome [actions] are the ten unwholesome paths of action (karmapatha), namely: killing, taking what has not been given, sexual misconduct, lying, slander, harsh words, idle prattle, covetousness, harmful intent and wrong view.
Wholesome are the ten wholesome paths of action, namely, abstaining from killing [etc.,] up to abstaining from idle prattle, as well as absence of covetousness, absence of harmful intent and right view.
The characteristics of killing and so on are also to be understood from [the viewpoints of] object (vastu), disposition (āśaya), preparation (prayoga), defilement (kleśa) and completion (niṣṭhāgamana).
