General definition (in Buddhism)
Pañcānantarya (पञ्चानन्तर्य) or simply Ānantarya refers to “five (things) having immediate consequence” as defined in the Dharma-saṃgraha (section 60):
- Matricide (mātṛvadha,),
- Patricide (pitṛvadha),
- Killing an arhat (arhadvadha),
- With corrupt mind causing a Realised One’s blood to flow (rudhirotpāda),
- Causing schism in the Saṅgha (saṅghabheda).
The Dharma-samgraha (Dharmasangraha) is an extensive glossary of Buddhist technical terms in Sanskrit (e.g., pañca-ānantarya). The work is attributed to Nagarjuna who lived around the 2nd century A.D.
India history and geography
Pañca-anantarya.—(CII 3), the five sins that entail immediate retribution. See pañca-mahāpātaka, daś-āparādha, pañca-aparādha. Note: pañca-anantarya is defined in the “Indian epigraphical glossary” as it can be found on ancient inscriptions commonly written in Sanskrit, Prakrit or Dravidian languages.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.

1) 五無間 [wǔ wú jiān]: “five kinds of non-remission”.
2) 五逆罪 [wǔ nì zuì]: “five heinous sins”.
Sanskrit, also spelled संस्कृतम् (saṃskṛtam), is an ancient language of India commonly seen as the grandmother of the Indo-European language family (even English!).
