In the great sages' teaching gates, opening nāma yields four mental \[skandhas\], which in contrast to form are combined to make five. These five are universally called "skandhas" (yin) because, to explain broadly, yin has the meaning of "concealing and covering"; they can cover over the wisdom of supramundane true clarity and increase birth-and-death, gathering and dispersing without cessation; hence they are universally called skandhas (yin). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.78](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.1.78) - [Next: 1.80](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.1.80) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925~en-mt.1.79) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.1.79](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.1.79) · Pramāṇa
