The Abhidharma-kosha identifies seventy-five dharmas (elements) that the Sarvāstivāda school "held were substantially existent (dravyasat) and endowed with intrinsic nature (svabhava)".[1]
These seventy-five dharmas are:[2][3]
- five sense faculties,
- five sense objects,
- avijñaptirūpa (imperceptible forms, nonmanifest materiality),
- citta (mind),
- forty-six concomittant mental factors (caitta),
- fourteen non-concurrent formations (citta-viprayukta-samskara), and
- three unconditioned factors (or "non-created elements") (asamskrta-dharma)
