17. Tib. zin pa’i sa’i khams dang/ ma zin pa’i sa’i khams. As noted by Skilling (2021, p. 563 n. 821), the Tib. zin pa and ma zin pa (lit. “held” and “not held”) here translate the Sanskrit upātta and anupātta, respectively, terms with which the elements are classified as “appropriated,” in the sense of being part of a person’s body, or “unappropriated” in the sense of belonging to any other matter. Hence our translation, following Skilling, as “inner” and “outer” elements, respectively.
