'Inner faculty'. The complete mind which comprises of four aspects, each characterised by its individual functions: called the man when generating thoughts and desires; the buddhi when consolidating thoughts, making decisions and resolutions, forming convictions, or discriminating; the chitt when repeatedly contemplating or focusing; and the ahamkãr when forming a sense of being. Normally used in the singular since all four are aspects of the one antahkaran, but also often referred to as being four different antahkarans.
