「謂手觸故至惱壞如箭中」者，答。謂彼色法，由手觸故即便變壞。廣說乃至蚊等觸。五根及色、聲、香、味，雖非手等觸著，然與彼觸同一聚生，若觸觸時彼便變壞。或可觸彼能造四大，令所造色亦變壞，故此變壞即是可為他惱壞義。故法救所集義品之中作如是說：趣求諸五欲境人，常起於希望，彼諸欲境若不遂會，令色變壞，猶如毒箭在身中也。色等五境是所欲故，或能生欲名之為欲。言義品者，此品之中釋諸義故。故《婆沙》四十四云「釋迦菩薩為多求王說此頌」，廣如彼解。

"Namely, through contact with the hand […] tormented and ruined as if struck by an arrow": This is the answer. That is, that material dharma is transformed and deteriorated precisely through contact with the hand, and so forth down to contact with mosquitoes and the like. Although the five sense organs and visible form, sound, odor, and taste are not directly contacted by the hand and so forth, they arise within the same aggregate as that tangible; when the tangible is contacted, they are transformed and deteriorated. Or it may be that contact with their creating four great elements causes the derived matter to also be transformed and deteriorated; therefore, this transformation and deterioration means that it can be afflicted and ruined by another. Thus, in the Arthavargīya compiled by Dharmatrāta, it is stated: When a person who seeks after the five sense objects of desire constantly gives rise to yearning, if those objects of desire are not fulfilled, their matter is caused to deteriorate, just like a poisoned arrow within the body. The five sense fields such as visible form are desires because they are what is desired, or because they can produce desire. As for 'Arthavargīya', it is because this chapter explains various meanings (artha). Hence the Vibhāṣā, fascicle 44, states: 'The Bodhisattva Śākyamuni spoke this verse for King Bahuprapañca,' as explained extensively there.
