+Translation
+The six classes of consciousness (or the six collections of consciousness)
+Analysis and Introduction
+The Sanskrit compound ṣaḍvijñānakāya (Pali: cha viññāṇakāyā; Tibetan: རྣམ་པར་ཤེས་པའི་ཚོགས་དྲུག, rnam par shes pa'i tshogs drug; Chinese: 六識身, liù shí shēn) is a foundational taxonomy in Buddhist psychology and phenomenology. The term kāya in this context denotes an aggregate, collection, or group (samūha / ཚོགས), as explicitly glossed by Yaśomitra in his Sphuṭārthā Abhidharmakośavyākhyā (ṣaḍ vijñānakāyā iti ṣaḍ vijñānasamūhāḥ). The six classes correspond directly to the six sensory faculties (indriya / āyatana) and their respective objective spheres (viṣaya / ālambana): eye consciousness (cakṣurvijñāna), ear consciousness (śrotravijñāna), nose consciousness (ghrāṇavijñāna), tongue consciousness (jihvāvijñāna), body consciousness (kāyavijñāna), and mental consciousness (manovijñāna).
+Across early discourse collections such as the Nidānasaṃyukta, Chachakka Sutta, and Saḷāyatanavibhaṅga Sutta, as well as classical Abhidharma and Yogācāra treatises like the Abhidharmakośabhāṣya, Pañcaskandhaka, and Śrāvakabhūmi, the six consciousnesses constitute the definitive analysis of the consciousness aggregate (vijñānaskandha). In classical Buddhist models of dependent origination (pratītyasamutpāda), consciousness arising conditioned by volitional formations (saṃskārapratyayaṃ vijñānam) is explicitly analyzed into these six groups. In early and Sarvāstivāda Abhidharma, all cognitive processing is accounted for by these six consciousnesses, with the mental faculty (manodhātu / manāyatana) understood as the immediate antecedent moment of any of the six consciousnesses that has just ceased. Yogācāra incorporates these six as the active, manifest consciousnesses (pravṛttivijñāna), complementing them with the storehouse consciousness (ālayavijñāna) and the afflicted mentation (kliṣṭamanas).

+Original: vijñānaṃ prativijñaptir iti. vijñānaskandhaḥ prativijñaptir ity arthaḥ skandhādhikārāt. pratir vīpsārthaḥ. viṣayaṃviṣayaṃ pratīty arthaḥ. upalabdhir vastumātragrahaṇaṃ. vedanādayas tu caitasā viśeṣā viśeṣagrahaṇarūpāḥ. ṣaḍ vijñānakāyā iti ṣaḍ vijñānasamūhāḥ. ṣaḍ vijñānāny atho mana iti. ṣaḍ vijñānadhātavo yāthāsaṃkhyena yaś cakṣurvijñānaṃ.
+Translation: "Consciousness is individual awareness." The meaning is that the aggregate of consciousness is individual awareness, since the context concerns the aggregates. The prefix prati expresses distributive repetition; the meaning is "with respect to each and every object." Apprehension (upalabdhi) is the grasping of the mere entity. Mental factors such as feeling, however, are qualitative differentiations that take the form of grasping particular qualities. "The six classes of consciousness" means the six collections of consciousness. In the phrase "the six consciousnesses and also the mind," the six consciousness elements correspond respectively to visual consciousness and the rest.

+Translation: With the words "consciousness is individual awareness," the meaning is that the aggregate of consciousness is distinct cognition, because this is the context of the aggregates. "Individually" expresses repetition, meaning "individually with respect to each object." Cognizing an object is apprehending merely the bare entity.

+Translation: Here, the elements of the eye and the rest, and the elements of visible forms and the rest, correspond to the sense spheres. The six consciousness elements are distinct cognitions supported by the eye and other faculties and having visible forms and other objects as their objective conditions. The mental element (manodhātu) consists of those very consciousnesses immediately after they have ceased. The arrangement into eighteen elements is established in order to illuminate the basis of the sixth consciousness.

+Published English translation (Distinctly Ascertaining the Meanings):
+“As for ‘assembled factors with ignorance as their condition,’ what are assembled factors? Assembled factors are of three kinds: assembled factors pertaining to the body, assembled factors pertaining to speech, and assembled factors pertaining to thought. What are the assembled factors pertaining to the body? They are inhaling and exhaling, for these are bodily dharmas, based on the body, and bound to the body; they come about on the basis of the body. Therefore, inhaling and exhaling are explained as the assembled factors pertaining to the body . What are the assembled factors pertaining to speech? A person speaks after deliberating and after analyzing, not without deliberating and analyzing. Therefore, deliberation and analysis are explained as assembled factors pertaining to speech . What are the assembled factors pertaining to thought? They are the intention of someone who has attraction, the intention of someone who has aversion, and the intention of someone who has confusion, for this is a mental dharma, based on the mind and bound to the mind; it occurs on the basis of the mind. Therefore, intention is explained as the assembled factor pertaining to thought . These, bhikṣus, are explained as assembled factors. “As for ‘consciousness with assembled factors as its condition,’ what is consciousness? It is the six collections of consciousness. What are the six? They are eye consciousness, ear consciousness, nose consciousness, tongue consciousness, body consciousness, and thought consciousness. These are the six collections of consciousness.
