2.19

敘數論計中,問:以觸為風大,風大成皮根,皮根得觸,而不得風。若爾,觸體是何?答:以堅、濕、癢、飢等而造風大,與風體別,如勝論等。問:皮不得風,風何根得?答:心平等根,不必皮得,准上所說。

In recounting the Sāṃkhya theory, question: Taking touch to be the wind element, the wind element forms the skin faculty; the skin faculty grasps touch, but does not grasp wind. If so, what is the substance of touch? Answer: Through solidity, wetness, itching, hunger, and so forth, it creates the wind element, which is distinct in substance from wind, like the Vaiśeṣikas and others. Question: If the skin does not grasp wind, by which faculty is wind grasped? Answer: By the mind as an impartial faculty; it is not necessarily grasped by the skin, in accordance with what was said above.
