6.27

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.
