16.335

基云：此言為欲與三受俱觸食思食名攝益，不欲取受觸二心所，由前二攝益第八故，觸段緣現在，意思緣未來故，識後明利長養，識後明利長養，故名識食，亦通取六識中長養者為論，由段食等初三食資持識故，令意根轉明盛生。

Ji says: this statement is made because one wishes to designate contact nutriment and mental volition nutriment conjoined with the three feelings as 'sustaining and benefiting', and does not wish to take the two mental factors of feeling and contact; because the preceding two sustain and benefit the eighth consciousness, and contact and morsel food condition the present while mental volition conditions the future, consciousness subsequently becomes clear, sharp, and nourished; hence it is called consciousness nutriment. It also universally takes those among the six consciousnesses that nourish for the discussion; because the initial three nutriments such as morsel food sustain consciousness, they cause the mental faculty to arise with increased clarity and vigor.
