rūpa-kalāpa:
'corporeal group', material
unit, designates a combination of several physical phenomena constituting a temporary
unity. Thus, for instance, the so-called 'dead matter' forms the most primitive
group, consisting only of 8 physical phenomena, called the 'pure eightfold
unit' or 'octad' (suddhaṭṭhakakalāpa),
to wit: the 4 elements (the solid, fluid, heat, motion); colour, smell,
taste, nutriment (paṭhavī,
āpo, tejo, vāyo; vaṇṇa, gandha, rasa, ojā). In Vis.M., and
elsewhere, it is also called
ojatthamaka-kalāpa,
'the octad with nutriment as the 8th factor'.
The simplest form of living matter is
the '9-fold vitality unit' or 'life-ennead' (jīvita-navaka-kalāpa), formed by adding 'vitality' to
the octad. Seven decades, or units of ten (dasaka-kalāpa), are formed by adding to the 9-fold unit
one of the following corporeal phenomena: heart (physical seat of mind), sex,
eye, ear, nose, tongue or body. - See Vis.M. XVIII, 4; Compendium of Buddhist
Philosophy (PTS), p. 164, 250;

Tr., II, 413f.

external of visual physical phenomenon ('light wave') that forms the base
consciousness. Cf. āyatana
