俱舍論頌疏論本 2.28

2.28

Regarding "the first eight dhātus and sound are unappropriated": "the first" means taking the previous seven mental dhātus and the entirety of the dharmadhātu; these eight and sound make nine dhātus in total, which are termed unappropriated (anupātta). Regarding "the rest are both": "the rest" refers to the remainder, namely the five sense faculties—eye and so forth—and visible form, odor, taste, and tangible objects. These nine dhātus each encompass two meanings: 1. appropriated, and 2. unappropriated. When the five faculties of the eye and so forth abide in the present period, they are termed appropriated; in the past and future, they are termed unappropriated. When visible form, odor, taste, and tangible objects abide in the present period and are inseparable from the five faculties, they are termed appropriated. If in the present they are not combined with the faculties, or are external to the body, as well as being past or future phenomena, they are termed unappropriated. (Explanation: visible form, odor, taste, and tangible objects comprise three classes that are termed unappropriated: 1. those not combined with the faculties, such as hair and bodily hair; 2. those external to the body, such as earth, water, etc. among insentient things; 3. those of the past and future.) The śāstra says: "'Appropriated' means held together by the mind and mental factors, gathered as their basis, hence termed appropriated, because benefit and harm mutually follow one another." (Because the five faculties of the eye and so forth are gathered by that mind and mental factors as their basis, and the four objects supporting the faculties are gathered as their basis, the nine dhātus of the eye and so forth are appropriated by the mind and mental factors; possessing that appropriation, they are termed appropriated. Because of appropriation, benefit and harm to the eye and so forth follow the mind: when the mind has joy and pleasure, the body is also benefited; when the mind has suffering and distress, the body is also harmed.)
