During the Han dynasty, skandha was translated as 陰; during the Jin as 衆, and in the Tang as 蘊. (Pāli khandha; Tib. phung po). The skandhas refer only to the conditioned world, not to the unconditioned 無爲. (Skt. skandhaka, skandha-mātra, upadhi, rāśi) [resp. Charles Muller; source(s): Nakamura, YBh-Ind, JEBD, Hirakawa]
• To gather, to hoard, collect, bring together. [resp. Charles Muller]
• Skandha transliterated as 塞建陀 also means "the shoulder;" "the body;" "the trunk of a tree;" "a section," etc. (M-W) Thus, it also refers to a section of a text. See 犍度. [resp. Charles Muller; source(s): Soothill]
