bases and elements. The asterisk indicates the associated states
that are to be classified and unclassified. Only the classified are
shown in the chart and the remaining aggregates, bases and elements
are those that are tmclassified.
How to read the Chart: Feeling aggregate is taken as illustration.
Feeling aggregate is associated with these states (consciousness 89,
mental factors 52 excluding feeling = 51).
Under how many aggregates, under how many bases and under
how many elements are those states (consciousness 89, mental
factors 52 excluding feeling = 51) classified ? They (consciousness

3 aggregates (perception, mental formation and consciousness
aggregates), under 2 bases (cognizable base and mind base) and
under 8 elements (cognizable element and 7 consciousness elements).
Under how many are they (consciousness 89, mental factors 52
excluding feeling = 51) not classified ? They are not classified under
2 aggregates (matter aggregate and feeling aggregate), under 10
