Comment: These six are frequently cited as the main bases of designation of a person. In the seventh chapter of the SUtra Unraveling the Thought "*" ( ཁམས་དུ་མ་ ) refers to the six constituents, and "various constituents" ( ཁམས་སྣ་ཚོགས་པ་ ) refers to the eighteen constituents. See also ཁམས་; ཁམས་ཐ་དད་པ་; ཁམས་སྣ་ཚོགས་པ་.
