21)
Because of becoming the causes of contention,
and the cause of samsara, because of causal sequence;
among the mental factors sensation and
ideation are both defined separately as aggregates.
22)
Because it is not correct for the meaning
the unconditioned is not explained among the aggregates.
The sequence is coarseness, total affliction,
like a pot and so on, and realms.
23)
Because of present objects, the first five;
because of objects arising from the elements, four;
because the others are very distant, rapid;
otherwise, according to respective location.
24)
Because of specific objects and primary;
because of including many phenomena and the supreme,
one is called the gateway of form
and the other is called “phenomena.”
25)
Whatever the eighty thousand aggregates of Dharma
taught by the Muni, those are
words and names, and those

26)
Some say “It is the length of the treatise”;
others, the discussions of aggregates and so on;

Analysis of the Non-material Aggregates, etc.
14 c/d)
Sensation is experience. Ideation’s
nature is to apprehend characteristics.
15)
Formation is different than the other four aggregates.
Those three, along with non-informative and
unconditioned phenomena,
are called the gateway or element of phenomena.
16)
Consciousness cognizes individually,
that is also called the mental gateway.
Also asserted as the seven elements, i.e.
the six consciousnesses and the mind.
17)
Whatever is the sixth, and the immediately past
consciousness, that is the mind.
Because the basis of the six is well established,
the elements are asserted to be eighteen.
18)
One aggregate, gateway
and element include all phenomena
by their own nature,
for that reason do not belong to another thing.
19)
Though the eye and so on may be paired,
because the classification, the experiential domain, and consciousness
are similar there is but one element,
Because of aesthetics a pair occurs.
20)
Heaps, gates of arising, and kind
are the aggregates, gateways and elements.
Because there are three kinds of confusion, faculties, and wishes,
there are three demonstrations, the aggregates and so on.
