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)
