These are eighteen occurrences of craving in connection with external (aggregates).

Thus these eighteen occurrences of craving in connection with internal (aggregates); these eighteen occurrences of craving in connection with external (aggregates); (taking) these together collectively and briefly there are thirty-six occurrences of craving.
