Sanskrit:द्वादशायतनानि dvādaśāyatanāni
Pāli:द्वादसायतनानि dvādasāyatanāni
Tibetan:སྐྱེ་མཆེད་བཅུ་གཉིས་ skye mched bcu gnyis
Thai: อายตนะ 12
English: 12 entrances
Grammatical information:
This is a "dvigu" compound(samāsa) with dvādaśa(twelve) + āyatana
Further information:
This is one of the classifications for the detail of cognition.This classification has 6-pairs of inner entrances and outer entrances of the kāmadhātu for producing cognition.
These inner āyatana "dominantly" correspond with the outer āyatana in this list:
| inner āyatana | outer āyatana |
| cakṣu (eye) |
rūpa (form) |
| śrotra (ear) |
śabda (sound) |
| ghrāṇa (nose) | gandha (smell) |
| jihvā (tongue) |
rasa (taste) |
| kāya (body) |
sparśa (touch) |
| mana (mind) |
dharma (mind object) |
For the first 5 pairs, there are corresponding dharmas of “form-clarity” (rūpa-prasāda) in our body, a derivative type of form that can function as the basis(āśraya - the support) for the arising.
According to Abhidharma, the manāyatana has ability to take the cognition produced from all 6 āyatanas (itself included) as the mind object as well.
