Explaining that receiving food and drink to remove hunger and thirst frees one from the hardship of the first fault, hunger and emaciation. 2. Explaining that receiving food and drink to maintain the brahma-practice is free from the aforementioned hardships of physical heaviness, a dull mind not quickly attaining absorption, and being troubled by drowsiness and sleep. 3.

Explaining maintaining and nourishing and so forth, which has five phrases: (1) sustenance, (2) strength, (3) pleasure, (4) faultlessness, and (5) abiding in peace.
