16.205

辨色根。景云：此身有色，是初句說色共相。麁滓所成者，是第二句說彼自相。次有三句，說彼因相。謂四大所造者，是依因。父母不淨等者，是生因，種種飲食等，是增長因。次有三句，說轉變相。由寒所作常假䨱蔽，由勢所作常假沐浴，勞倦所作常假按摩。後有四句，說變壞相。初二句活位逼損，謂斷截破壞。後二句死後所作，謂散滅，或由打碎故散滅，或由自然散滅。注云：初二句者斷截，後二句者破壞散滅。

Distinguishing the physical faculties: Jing says: "'This body has form' is the first clause, stating the common characteristic of form. 'Formed of coarse dregs' is the second clause, stating its self-characteristic. Next there are three clauses stating its causal characteristics: 'produced by the four great elements' is the foundational cause; 'the impurity of mother and father, etc.' is the generative cause; 'various foods and drinks, etc.' is the cause of growth. Next there are three clauses stating the characteristics of transformation: 'being caused by cold, it constantly requires covering; being caused by heat, it constantly requires bathing; being caused by fatigue, it constantly requires massage.' Lastly there are four clauses stating the characteristics of decay: the first two clauses refer to oppression and impairment during life, namely being severed and broken; the latter two clauses refer to what occurs after death, namely dispersion and destruction, whether dispersed and destroyed due to being shattered, or dispersed and destroyed naturally." The note says: "The first two clauses are being severed, and the latter two clauses are being broken and dispersed."
