16.93

Regarding the treatise's statement, "Furthermore, there are long-lived sentient beings who, if they do not obtain food, meet an untimely and premature death": this refers to nāgas and the like, whose lifespans may span eons and the like, all subsisting on food and not due to any other factor. The matching of the four smṛtyupasthānas to the four nutriments and so forth should be reflected upon according to principle.
