Lokakṣema's standard translation for saṃskāra as the 4th aggregate. (T 224.8.426a19)[resp. Will Giddings, Jan Nattier]
There are two, three, four, seven, and twelve kinds of 生死; the two are fragmentary 分段生死 experienced by unenlightened people, and the saṃsāra of inconceivable transformation 變易生死 experienced by bodhisattvas. Among the twelve are final separation from mortality of the arhat, with 無餘 no remainder causing return; one final death and no rebirth of the anāgāmin; the seven advancing rebirths of the srota-āpanna; down to the births-cum-deaths of hungry ghosts. [resp. Charles Muller]
