"Prior to the six sense spheres is name-and-form": after rebirth-linking and before the arising of the six sense spheres, all the five skandhas during the intermediate stages are collectively called name-and-form. "Intermediate stages" refers to the five stages in the womb from kalala up to praśākhā. The treatise says: "Here, one should say 'prior to the arising of the four spheres'; stating 'six' is established on the basis of completion (the four spheres exclude the body and the mind faculties)."
