The dharmas are categorized in groups such as: form aggregates 色蘊, which are the four elements 四大種, five sense faculties such as the faculty of sight and so forth 五根, five kinds of objects such as sound and so forth 五境、unexpressed form 無表色; feeling 受蘊, perception 想蘊, impulse 行蘊. These are mental factors except feeling and perception, and factors not directly associated with a specific mental function. There are forty-six mental factors. They are the five omnipresent mental factors 五遍行, five mental factors that function only with specific objects 五別境, eleven good stages 善法, six fundamental afflictions 六煩惱, twenty derivative afflictions 二十隨煩惱 and four indeterminate dharmas 四不定. Finally, the aggregate of consciousness 識蘊 are listed, which includes the eighth consciousness (ālayavijñāna). The treatise is composed between 470 to 550 CE. A related treatise is T 1612, the Mahāyāna Treatise on the Five Skandhas 大乘五蘊論 by Vasubandhu. They follow the same source.
