### [4.11](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1833.4.11)

答：按《俱舍論》三界分別十八界云，色界所繫唯十四種，除香、味境及鼻、舌識。除香、味者，段食性故，離段食欲方得生彼；除鼻、舌識，無所緣故。若爾，觸界於彼應無如香、味境。段食性故，彼所有觸非段食性。若爾，香、味類亦應然。香、味離段食無別受用，觸有別用，持根、衣等。彼離食欲，香、味無用，有根、衣等故觸非無。由斯色界雖有觸塵無段食，餘廣問答如章及《燈》。

> Answer: According to the Abhidharmakośa's differentiation of the eighteen realms in the three realms, what is bound to the form realm is only fourteen kinds, excluding the objects of odor and taste, and the olfactory and gustatory consciousnesses. Odor and taste are excluded because their nature is material nutriment, and only by being detached from desire for material nutriment can one be born there; the olfactory and gustatory consciousnesses are excluded because they lack intentional objects. If so, then the tangible realm should also not exist there, just like the objects of odor and taste. Because their nature is material nutriment, the tangibles that exist there are not of the nature of material nutriment. If so, odor and taste should also be of the same class! Odor and taste have no other utility apart from material nutriment; tangibles have other uses, such as supporting the faculties, clothing, and so forth. Being detached from the desire for nutriment, odor and taste have no use; because there are faculties, clothing, and so forth, tangibles are not absent. For this reason, although the form realm has tangible dust, it has no material nutriment. The rest of the extensive questions and answers are as in the chapter and the Liaoyi deng.
