Notes
- ↑ In the context of the Samyutta Nikaya's chapter entitled Script error: The function "transl" does not exist., Bodhi (2000), defines "Script error: The function "transl" does not exist." as simply "six sense bases" (p. 2024) or, implicitly, "the six internal and external sense bases" (p. 1121). Primarily in the context of Conditioned Arising, Kohn (1991), p. 192, defines "Shadāyatana" as "roughly 'six bases or realms'; term referring to the six objects of the sense organs...." Rhys Davids & Stede (1921-25), p. 699, defines "Script error: The function "transl" does not exist." as "the six organs of sense and the six objects."
