二、總辨處觸處差別。答：處如前說者，已得不捨於無間體非斷滅法。言觸處者，謂與觸俱者，同時為根生長彼觸。或能無間引發諸觸等者，前念五根雖不與觸俱而能無間引後念觸，以隨順後觸亦名觸處。

Second, a general explanation of the distinction between an āyatana and a contact-āyatana. The reply: "An āyatana is as previously explained" means having already been attained, not relinquished, and in its substance immediately without interval not a broken-off dharma. The statement: "A contact-āyatana means that which coexists with contact" means being an organ simultaneously growing and producing that contact. Or "being able to induce contacts immediately without interval, and so on" means that although the five faculties in the preceding moment do not coexist with contact, they are able to induce the contact of the subsequent moment immediately without interval; because they accord with subsequent contact, they are also called contact-āyatanas.
