俱舍論疏 1.366

1.366

The treatise says: "The other elements of that sūtra [...] are subsumed under these eighteen elements." Analogously explaining that the other elements are all subsumed under these eighteen elements, it briefly relies on the Dharmaskandha, fascicles 10 and 11. The "Chapter on Multiple Elements" sets forth the entities of the sixty-two elements, subsuming them into the eighteen elements. The Dharmaskandha verse says: "The elements are sixty-two; / The eighteen elements come first; / Three sixes, one four, / Six threes, and the final two twos." The eighteen elements refer to the six faculties, the six sense objects, and the six consciousnesses, subsumed under their own names. As for "three sixes," this refers to three kinds of six: The first six refers to the elements of earth, water, fire, wind, space, and consciousness. The first four elements are subsumed under the tangible element. The space element has light, shadow, brightness, and darkness as its entity, and is subsumed under the matter element. The consciousness element has defiled consciousness as its entity, and is subsumed under the seven mind elements. The second six refers to the elements of sensuous desire, malice, harm, non-desire, non-malice, and non-harm. Sensuous desire has lustful greed as its nature; malice has hatred as its nature; harm has cruelty as its nature; non-desire has non-greed as its nature; non-malice has non-hatred as its nature; and non-harm has non-cruelty as its nature. These six are mental factors and are all subsumed under the mental-object element (dharmadhātu). The third six refers to the elements of pleasure, pain, joy, sorrow, equanimity, and ignorance. The first five elements have sensation as their nature; the last one has delusion as its nature. Being mental factors, they are all subsumed under the mental-object element. "One four" refers to the elements of feeling, perception, formations, and consciousness. Feeling, perception, and formations are subsumed under the mental-object element; the consciousness element is subsumed under the seven mind elements. As for "six threes": The first three refers to the desire realm, the form realm, and the formless realm. The desire realm is subsumed under the eighteen elements. The form realm is subsumed under fourteen elements, excluding the two of smell and taste, and nose- and tongue-consciousnesses. The formless realm is subsumed under the mind, mental-object, and mental-consciousness elements. The second three elements refers to the form, formless, and cessation elements. The form element refers to the desire and form realms; possessing matter, it is generally named the form element and is subsumed under the eighteen elements. The formless element is subsumed under the last three elements. The cessation element has analytical cessation and non-analytical cessation as its nature, and is subsumed under the mental-object element. The third three elements refers to the past, future, and present elements; all having the five aggregates as their nature, they are subsumed under the eighteen elements. The fourth three elements refers to the inferior, intermediate, and superior elements. The inferior element has unwholesome and defiled indeterminate dharmas as its nature, subsumed under the seven mind elements, the matter, sound, and mental-object elements. The intermediate element has defiled wholesome and undefiled indeterminate dharmas as its nature, subsumed under the eighteen elements. The superior element has undefiled wholesome dharmas as its nature, subsumed under the mind, mental-object, and mental-consciousness elements. The fifth three elements refers to the wholesome, unwholesome, and indeterminate elements. The wholesome element has all wholesome dharmas as its nature; the unwholesome element has all unwholesome dharmas as its nature. These two are subsumed under the seven mind elements, the matter, sound, and mental-object elements. The indeterminate element has all indeterminate dharmas as its nature, subsumed under the eighteen elements. The sixth three elements refers to the elements of the trainee (śaikṣa), the non-trainee (aśaikṣa), and neither trainee nor non-trainee. The trainee element has the undefiled five aggregates of the trainee as its nature; the non-trainee element has the undefiled five aggregates of the non-trainee as its nature; these two are subsumed under the mind, mental-object, and mental-consciousness elements. The neither trainee nor non-trainee element has the defiled five aggregates and the three unconditioned dharmas as its nature, subsumed under the eighteen elements. As for the "final two twos": The first two elements refers to the defiled and undefiled elements. The defiled element has the defiled five aggregates as its nature, subsumed under the eighteen elements. The undefiled element has the undefiled five aggregates and the three unconditioned dharmas as its nature, subsumed under the mind, mental-object, and mental-consciousness elements. The second two elements refers to the conditioned and unconditioned elements. The conditioned element has the five aggregates as its nature, subsumed under the eighteen elements. The unconditioned element has the three unconditioned dharmas as its nature, subsumed under the mental-object element. In the Āgama sūtras, the names of the sixty-two elements are also listed, in a text titled the Bahudhātuka-sūtra.
