The kŒya dasaka kalŒpas which contain bodytransparent element are found spread throughout the six sense basesand are interspersed with the cakkhu dasaka kalŒpas in the eye, withthe sota dasaka kalŒpas in the ear, with the ghŒna dasaka kalŒpas inthe nose, with the jivhŒ dasaka kalŒpas in the tongue, and with thehadaya dasaka kalŒpas in the heart.
