Regarding 'nourished' (aupacayika): the nourishing factors are of four kinds: first, food and drink; second, supportive care, such as anointing and bathing; third, sleep; fourth, meditative stabilization (samādhi). These four superior conditions support and benefit the five faculties, making the small grow large and nourishing the lean to become stout; hence they are called 'nourished'. The nourishers admit of all three moral natures; that which is nourished is exclusively neutral. Here, in the section on the five categories, what is taken is that which is nourished.
