肉團等者。謂四塵名肉，清淨眼根依肉而住，名為肉眼。如《楞嚴》云：「眼如葡萄朵，耳如新卷葉，鼻如雙垂瓜，舌如初偃月，身如腰鼓顙，意如幽室見。」清淨眼根依此發也。

> Regarding "the mass of flesh," and so forth: this means that the four dusts \[form, sound, scent, taste\] are called flesh, and the subtle, pure eye-faculty abides depending on the flesh, being named "the physical eye." As the Śūraṅgama states: "The eyes are like clusters of grapes, the ears like newly rolled leaves, the nose like a pair of hanging melons, the tongue like a crescent moon, the body like the sounding box of a waisted drum, and the mental faculty like seeing within a dark chamber." The pure eye-faculty arises based on this.
