Etymology. From Sanskrit pudgala (matter, substance, person), borrowed from a Dravidian source (cf. Tamil pukal, Telugu puggala 'matter'). The word entered Pali through contact with non-Aryan traditions and became standard in abhidhamma psychology to denote a person or individual as a designation for the five aggregates.
