Explanation: 'Only the last eight faculties are virtuous' means that the eight beginning with faith are called the last eight faculties, and they are purely virtuous in nature. 'Grief is both virtuous and unvirtuous' means that grief is not indeterminate; because it arises from strong deliberation, it admits of both virtuous and unvirtuous natures. 'The mind and the remaining sensations are of three kinds' means that the mind faculty and the remaining four sensations (excluding grief)—these five—admit of all three natures. 'The first eight are only indeterminate' means that the first eight, beginning with the eye, are exclusively indeterminate in nature; the five faculties beginning with the eye, together with the male, female, and life faculties, are called the eight faculties.
