瑜伽論記 1.67

Body has three meanings: physical resistance, basis-body, and collection of entities. The Viniścayasaṃgrahaṇī states: 'Because that upon which the five consciousnesses rely has physical resistance, it is therefore named body.' If so, since the eye and so forth are necessary bases, why are they not called body, but only the body faculty is called body? The former four rely on the body, and the body serves as their support, so it alone is named body. If so, mind also functions relying on the body; why is it not called body? In the form realm, mind functions relying on the body, but in the formless realm it is not so. The eye and so forth must rely on the body faculty to exist, so they may be called body. As the Commentary states: 'Furthermore, because they necessarily do not depart from the base body, just like bodily feeling.' Also, because of the meaning of basis and the meaning of entity, they are equally called bodies, as in the six groups of volition, the six groups of consciousness, and so forth; the former two are unshared, while this is a common designation.
