'''{{Style S-Small capitals|Skandha}}'''. Lit., “bundles”, or groups of attributes; everything finite, inapplicable to the eternal and the absolute. There are five — esoterically, ''seven'' — attributes in every human living being, which are known as the ''Pancha Shandhas''. These are (1) form, ''rûpa;'' (2) perception, ''vidâna''; (3) consciousness, ''sanjnâ''; (4) action, ''sanskâra''; (5) knowledge, vidyâna. These unite at the birth of man and constitute his personality. After the maturity of these Skandhas, they begin to separate and weaken, and this is followed by ''jarâmarana'', or decrepitude and death. | '''{{Style S-Small capitals|Skandha}}'''.
