“The methods of Content and Discourse on element”
According to the structuer of Dhatukatha(the speech on the elementtreaties), after Vibanga(the book of Analysis), Dhatukatha(the speech on the elements)is expounded by the Buddha. In the third book,the essence of Abhidhamma, there are two parts. They are the table of contents and the Catechetical Exposition. Both of
them, the table of contents is preached first. In the table of contents, there are five sections. They are Naya Matika (Methods), Abbhantara Matika(Internal States of Enquiry), Nayamukha Matika (Principles of the methods), Lakkhana Matika(Characteristics of the methods), and Bahira Matika(External States of
Enquiry). Among them, Naya Matika (Methods) is preached first. In this Naya Matika, there are fourteen types of sections. They are Sangaho Asangaho(Classification and Unclassification), Sangahitena Asangahitam (Classified and Unclassified), Asangahitena Sangahitam(Unclassified and Classified),Sangahitena Sangahitam
(Classified and Classified), Asangahitena Asangahitam (Unclassified and Unclassified), Sampayogo Vippayogo (Association and Dissociation), Sampayuttena Vippayuttena (Associated and Dissociated), Vippayuttena Sampayuttena (Dissociated and Associated), Sampayuttena Sampayuttam(Associated and Associated), Vippayuttena Vippatam(Dissociated and Dissociated), Sangahitena Sampayuttam Vippayuttam(Associated with and Dissociated from the Classified), Sampayuttena Sangahitam Asangahitam(Classified and Unclassified concerning with the associated), Asangahitena Sampayuttam Vippayuttam(Associated with and
Dissociated from the classified), and Vippayuttena Sangahitam Asangahitam(Classified and Unclassified concerning with the Dissociated).
Khandha(Five Aggregates), Dvadasayatanani(Twelve Bases), Attharasa Dhatuyo (Eighteen Elements), Cattari Saccani (Four Truths), Bavisindriyani(Twenty-two Faculties), Cattaro Satipathana (Four Application of Mindfulness), Cattaro Sammappadana (Four Great efforts), Cattaro Iddhipada (Four Roads to Psychic
power), Cattari Jhanani (Four Trances), Catasso Appamannayo (Four Illimitable States), Pancidriyani (Five Faulties), Panca Balani (Five Strengths), Satta Bojjjanga (Seven Factors of Enlightenments), and Ariyo Atthangiko Maggo(The Noble Eightfold Path),Phassa (Contacts), Vedana (Feeling), Sanna(Perception),
Cetana (Volition). Therefore, They are called Abbhantara Matika. After Abbhantara Matika(Internal States of Enquiry), Nayamukha Matika (Principles of the Methods) is expounded by the Buddha. In this Nayamukha Matika (Principles of the Methods), there are four sections.
They are Tihi Sangaho (Classification under the three categories of Aggregates, Bases and Elements), Catuhi Sampayogo(Association with the four Mantal Aggregates), and Catuhi Vippayogo (Dissociation from the Mental Aggregates). Thus,They are called Nayamukha Matika (Principles of the Methods). After Nayamukha Matika (Principles of the Methods), Lakkhana Matika (Charateristics of the Methods)has been expounded by the Buddha. In this Lakkhana Matika (Charateristics of the Methods), there are two parts. They are Sabhago(The common charateristic of conforming with the Classification and Association Principles), and Visabhago (The common charateristic of not conforming with the Classification and Association Principles). Therefore,They are called Lakkhana Matika.
After Lakkha Matika(Charateristics of the Methods), Bahira Matika (External States of Enquiry) is expounded by the Buddha. In this Bahira Matika (External States of Enquiry), there are all the twenty-two triplets and hundred couplets of the Dhammasangani which is called the table of contents. Matika mean the Contents or the matrix not only for the book of Classification of States (Dhammasangani) but also for the essence of Abhidhamma as a whole. Before proceedings to deal with the subject matter of contents, I would like to present to you an extract, a short passage from parth one of the original book of Dhammasangani to give you a rough idea of the unique methods and profound subject matter of the thing mentioned or thereof. In contents (Matika), the Lord Buddha employs the classification methods of analysis on the basis of four criteria of classification:-
(1)Aggregates;
(2)Bases;
(3)Elements;
(4)The four Noble Truths;
Therefore, it will be advisable to being with the classification in generally aggregates, bases, elements and truths. There displays the classification of their realities and so forth and so on.

These states are moral phenomena. In conclusion of summary exposition, in contents (Matika), Lord Buddha preaches the classificatory method of analysis on the basis of criteria of classification and so much too. With the classification, it will be
advisable to begin, therefore in general of aggregates, bases, elements, and truths as they truly are. The following methods of content (Matika) displays the classification of their realities:-
