Visuddhimagga XV-13

515. Saṅkhepavitthārāti saṅkhepato hi manāyatanassa ceva dhammāyatanekadesassa ca nāmena tadavasesānañca āyatanānaṃ rūpena saṅgahitattā dvādasāpi āyatanāni nāmarūpamattameva honti.
(五)「以简略与详细」,先就简略说:意处及法处的一部分是属于名所摄,其它的诸处属于色所摄,所以十二处只是名与色而已。
Ñ(XV,13): 5. In brief and in detail: in brief the twelve bases are simply mentality-materiality because the mind base and one part of the mental-data base are included in mentality, and the rest of the bases in materiality.
