大般若波羅蜜多經般若理趣分述讚 3.99

3.99

The Commentary says: These are four specific dharmas. 'Truths' refers to the four truths. Dependent origination has twelve [links]. 'Jewels' refers to the Three Jewels. 'Foods' refers to the four foods, namely material, contact, intention, and consciousness foods. Smell, taste, and tangibility—these three are called material food. Contact refers to the mental factor of contact, which is conjoined with the sixth consciousness. Intention refers to the mental factor of intention, which is also conjoined with the sixth [consciousness]. Consciousness refers to the consciousness aggregate, which is exclusively the eighth. In accordance with conditions, four are spoken of, but they are subsumed into the nature of dharmas.
