[Ghana]
Also kalala/ghana (羯南). Here translated as "coagulated thickness" (凝厚). Because it gradually hardens, it is also called "hard flesh"; it is the fourth seven days in the womb. Although it has the faculties of body and mind, it lacks the four faculties such as the eyes, and because the six bases are not yet complete, it is merely called "name-and-form" (nāmarūpa). The Nirvāṇa [Sūtra says]: "The Buddha said: 'As it is said, name-and-form binds sentient beings; if name-and-form ceases, then there are no sentient beings. Apart from name-and-form, there are no separate sentient beings; apart from sentient beings, there is no separate name-and-form. It is both said that name-and-form binds sentient beings, and that sentient beings bind name-and-form.'"
