Notes:
1 Based on six doors and six sense-objects, six types of
consciousness arise. Thus there are 18 dhàtus or elements.
2 The 18 Dhàtus include all råpas, all cittas, all cetasikas
and Nibbàna just like the 12 àyatanas.
3 The 4 essential elements viz., pathavã-dhàtu, àpo-dhàtu,
tejo-dhàtu and vàyo-dhàtu should not be counted among
the 18 elements, which of course include the 4 essential
elements.
