法華文句記 4.33

4.33

面具五根，四並有身，若緣現量色等境時，意又居上。故《俱舍》云：「有身根九事，十事有餘根」。言九事者，即能造四大地水火風，及以所造色香味觸，并身根一，故云九事。言十事者，餘眼等根皆具十事，如眼根上有能造四及所造四，眼及身根故成十也。眼等覺觸即身根性。

The face possesses five faculties, and the four all have the body [faculty]; when conditioning direct-perception objects such as visible forms, the mind [faculty] furthermore resides above them. Therefore the *Kośa* says: "Possessing the body faculty has nine entities; the remaining faculties have ten entities." Speaking of "nine entities": namely the four great elements that can create—earth, water, fire, and wind—and the created visible forms, scents, tastes, and tangibles, together with the one body faculty; hence it says "nine entities." Speaking of "ten entities": the remaining faculties such as the eye all possess ten entities; just as on the eye faculty there are the four that can create and the four created, with the eye and body faculties, it thus makes ten. The eye and others feeling touch is precisely the nature of the body faculty.
