1.28

As for directly explaining the chapter titles: the meanings of clan/lineage (*gotra*), bearing/maintaining (*dhāraṇa*), and intrinsic nature (*svabhāva*) are called *dhātu* ("realm"); this chapter explains them extensively, and is therefore called "Analysis" (*vibhaṅga*). Question: "This chapter also explains the aggregates (*skandha*) and sense bases (*āyatana*); why is it titled after realms (*dhātu*)?" Answer: "Because this chapter extensively analyzes the eighteen realms through twenty-two gates, it is titled after realms. The aggregates and sense bases are not treated in this manner, and therefore the chapter is not titled after them."
