The Tipiṭaka in Three Languages

Chachakkasutta

Suttapiṭaka · Majjhimanikāya · Vol. 14 · Section 812

[812] "'The six internal sense bases (āyatana) should be understood' — so indeed this was said. And in dependence on what was this said? The eye-base, the ear-base, the nose-base, the tongue-base, the body-base, the mind-base. 'The six internal sense bases should be understood' — thus what was said, it was in dependence on this that it was said. This is the first set of six.
