'Pancha' means five and 'Panchaka' means a group of five. The concept includes details of [[indriya]] with its five aspects is described in [[ Indriyopakramaniya Adhyaya]] chapter.
== Origin and relation of [[Indriya]] with macrocosm ==
This [[pancha-panchaka]] system [table 1] reveals that senses are the instruments for knowledge of material in external world. All things are constituted by [[pancha mahabhuta]] (five elements). Specific sense can perceive the object related to its own basic constituent due to ''tulyayonitva'' (similarity in origin and action). E.g. The eyes can see external [[tejas]] [[mahabhuta]] and perceive the visual sensation only. The continuous interaction is carried out between external materialistic world and internal world (within body) comprising sense perceptions, mind, intellect and soul. The details about sense organs and their interaction with mind are described further in first chapter of [[Sharira Sthana]] (section of anatomy and physiology).
