初辨食類數及解食義，將欲釋文。先辨其義，對治第五云：云何食，幾是食？為何義故觀食耶？謂變壞故有變壞者，境界故有境界者，希望故有希望者，取故有取者，是食義。

First, distinguishing the types and number of nutriments and explaining the meaning of nutriment: as we are about to explain the text, we first distinguish their meaning. The fifth [chapter] of the Pratipakṣa states: 'What is nutriment, and how many are nutriments? For what purpose does one contemplate nutriment? Namely, because of modification and deterioration there is that which is modified and deteriorated; because of sensory objects there is that which has sensory objects; because of anticipation there is that which has anticipation; because of grasping there is that which grasps. This is the meaning of nutriment.'
