Sankhāra-kkhandha is the cetasika (mental factors or qualities) arising together with mind. The wholesome group (kusala) makes the mind meritorious, good; the unwholesome group (akusala) makes the mind demeritorious, bad; the exalted group (avyākata) makes the mind firm and unattached. These three groups of cetasika are mental action. If they are strong they can produce bodily acts or speech.
