[[khams drug ldan pa'i rdo rje'i lus]] - [[Vajra Body]] endowed with the six [[elements]]. The six outer elements are the five elements and the element of mental objects ([[chos khams]]). The six inner elements are flesh, blood, warmth, breath, vacuities and the [[All-ground consciousness]]. The six secret elements are the [[nadis]] as the stable earth element, the syllable HANG at the crown of the head as the liquid water element, the A-stroke at the navel center as the warm fire element, the life-prana ([[srog gi rlung]]) as the moving wind element, the avadhuti as the void space element, and the [[all-ground wisdom]] as the cognizant wisdom element. This last category is the uncommon explanation. [RY]
 
[[rang bzhin gnas rigs]] - Naturally present potential applies to the mind essence present as the unobstructed potential for the qualities of [[dharmakaya]] arising from its empty aspect and the qualities of [[rupakaya]] arising from its manifest aspect. It is called 'all-ground wisdom' ([[kun gzhi'i ye shes]]) because of being the ground from which both [[samsara]] and [[nirvana]] arise and the 'defiled [[suchness]]' ([[dri bcas de bzhin nyid]]) because of being combined with defilement at the time of a [[sentient being]].
