SN48: Connected Discourses on the Faculties

1"Bhikkhus, there are these six faculties. What six? The eye faculty, the ear faculty, the nose faculty, the tongue faculty, the body faculty, the mind faculty. These are the six faculties."[n.208] Spk: It is the eye and a faculty in the sense of controlling or dominating the phenomena arisen in the eye door, thus the "eye faculty." The same method in regard to the ear, etc.

1"Chayimāni, bhikkhave, indriyāni. Katamāni cha? Cakkhundriyaṁ, sotindriyaṁ, ghānindriyaṁ, jivhindriyaṁ, kāyindriyaṁ, manindriyaṁ – imāni kho, bhikkhave, cha indriyānī"ti.
