2.66

Regarding "Mind and mental factors... is called non-appropriated": This is the answer. Mind and mental factors collectively hold and sustain them, apprehending them as the five faculties to serve as perceptual bases (āśraya), and apprehending the four sense objects that assist the faculties to serve as bases. If the four objects such as visible matter are inseparable from the faculties, although they are not perceptual bases (āśraya), they may still be called bases. And since they are intimately attached to the mind and so on, both the base and the perceptual base are called bases of reliance, and are called appropriated (upātta). This is because mind and mental factors and those bases of reliance mutually conform in benefit and harm. That is to say, when mind and mental factors give rise to grief and suffering and are harmed, their bases of reliance are also harmed; when they give rise to joy and pleasure and are benefited, their bases of reliance are also benefited. If their bases of reliance receive benefit such as good food, mind and so on are also benefited; if they receive harm such as bad food, mind and so on are also harmed; for this reason these nine dhātus are called appropriated. Thus all ordinary worldly people, with respect to the five material faculties and the four sense objects assisting the faculties where they dwell in commingled association, speak of there being conscious contact (sparśa). When these nine are contacted and opposed by various conditions, they are able to perceive suffering, pleasure, and so forth. What is contrary to this is called non-appropriated. The *Nyāyānusāra* says: "The *Vibhāṣā* states: If material factors, when oppressed or ruptured, can generate suffering, and when contrary to this can generate pleasure, being encompassed within one's own body, they are called appropriated. Other teachers state: If sentient beings grasp them as their own self, at all times and places adopting expedients to protect them against conditions such as reeds, ashes, fire, thorns, frost, and hail, being encompassed within one's own body, they are called appropriated."
