俱舍論記 3.38

3.38

Regarding "Here, the eyes and the rest... therefore we should now explain": below, this is the third section, which clarifies the essential nature of the faculties and introduces the verses. Here, the six faculties of the eyes and the rest are as explained previously in the "Dhātu-nirdeśa" under aggregates, dhātus, and āyatanas. The female and male faculties are as explained at the beginning of this chapter. The life-faculty will be distinguished later among the non-associated [factors]. The five faculties of faith and the rest will be distinguished among the mental factors. Since these fourteen faculties are explained before and after, they are not clarified here. The remaining faculties have not yet been clarified, and therefore should now be explained.
