indriya
, n. [ts.; sa. lw., used to the exclusion ofthe mi. form indiya (cf. prakr. indiya and see Sadd
786,3-5, quoted s. v. indiya], basic meaning: power,
energy, (governing) faculty; primarily, and most fre-
quently, the "five senses": cakkhu'ndriya (sight), sot°
(hearing), ghān° (smell), jivh° (taste), kāy° (touch), to
which was added man° (mind) as the "sixth sense"
("pane' ~āni mano-chaṭṭhāni"); the use of ~ is
further extended to four other groups of physical, psy-
chic, moral and mental faculties and factors: a) itth°
(female sex, femininity), puris° (male sex, masculinity),
jīvit° (ttfe, vitality) (cf. Dhs Trsl. 190—192); b) sukh°
(pleasure), dukkh° (pain), somanass° (joy), domanass°
(grief), upekkh° (indifference, equanimity); c) saddh°
(faith), viriy° (energy), sat° (mindfulness), samādh°
(concentration), paññ° (intellect, wisdom) — these five
form the 4th group in the list of the 37 bodhipakkhiya-
dhammas, where they are followed by the 5 balas, iden-
tical with them and having the same names (cf. Lamotte,
Traité III 1125—27); d) anaññātañ ñassām[ī/i]t° (the
thought "I shall come to know the unknown"), aññ°
(thorough knowledge), aññātāv° (the faculty of one pos-
sessed of perfect knowledge) (cf. Lamotte, Traité III
1493, 1496—1503); a list of these (5 + 1 + 3 + 5 +
5 + 3 =) 22 ~s is given in Abhidhamma texts (cf.
Lamotte, Traité III 1494), e.g. Vibh 122,3; Vism
