The five sense faculties (Skt. pañcindriya; Tib. དབང་པོ་ལྔ་, wangpo nga, Wyl. dbang po lnga) are:
- visual (or eye) faculty, which is like an umaka flower;
- auditory (or ear) faculty, which is like a twisted roll of birch bark;
- olfactory (or nose) faculty, which is likened to parallel copper needles;
- gustatory (or tongue) faculty, which is compared to a crescent moon disc;
- tactile (or) body faculty, which is similar to the skin of the ‘smooth-to-the-touch’ bird and pervades throughout the body.
