Five Super-Mundane Components:—A technical term in Buddhism corresponding to the Sanskrit lokottara-skandha defined in the Dharma-saṃgraha (section 23):

  1. Virtue (śīla),
  2. Concentration (samādhi),
  3. Wisdom (prajñā),
  4. Freedom (vimukti),
  5. Knowledge and insight into freedom (vimuktijñānadarśana).

The Dharma-samgraha (Dharmasangraha) is an extensive glossary of Buddhist technical terms in Sanskrit (e.g., lokottara-skandha, ‘five super-mundane components’). The work is attributed to Nagarguna who lived around the 2nd century A.D.
