Nyanatiloka in his Buddhist Dictionary defines dhatu, ayatana and
khandha as:
http://mail.saigon.com/~anson/ebud/bud-dict/dic_idx.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
dhatu: 'elements', are the ultimate constituents of a whole. (I) The
4 physical elements (dhtu or mah-bhta), popularly called earth,
water, fire and wind, are to be understood as the primary qualities
of matter. <snip> (II) The 18 physical and mental elements that
constitute the conditions or foundations of the process of
perception. <snip>
ayatana: <snip>. The 12 'bases' or 'sources' on which depend the
mental processes, consist of five physical sense-organs and
consciousness, being the six personal (ajjhattika) bases; and the six
objects, the so-called external (bhira) bases
khandha: the 5 'groups (of existence)' or 'groups of clinging'
(updnakkhandha); alternative renderings: aggregates, categories of
clinging's objects. These are the 5 aspects in which the Buddha has
summed up all the physical and mental phenomena of existence, and
which appear to the ignorant man as his ego, or personality.
