Buddhist Dictionary

by late Ven. Nyanalokita Thera:

vatthu:1) 'physical base', i.e. the 6 physical organs on which the mental process is based, are the 5 physical sense-organs and, according to the Commentary, the heart (see hadaya-vatthu) as the 6th. This 6th vatthu must not be confounded with the 6th āyatana, which is a collective name for all consciousness whatever.

Appendix: as a general term for the 5 sense-organs (cakkhu-vatthu, etc ) is frequent in the Commentary, and often used together with ārammaṇa (object). This usage, however, is already indicated in the Abhidhamma Canon: 'Cakkhuṁ p'etaṁ… vatthuṁ p'etaṁ' (Dhammasaṅgaṇi § 597; Vibhaṅga, p.71, PTS): 'cakkhuviññāṇassa vatthu' (Dhammasaṅgaṇi §§ 679ff.).
