Thus the Yogācārabhūmi says: 'If material substances, at the time of swallowing, cause the mind to be joyful and the faculties delighted, at that time it is not called material nutriment, but only contact-nutriment. If after consumption they are peacefully transformed and digested, increasing joy and pleasure, then at the time of transformation and digestion it is called material nutriment. If there is cooking and transformation that cannot nourish the well-being of the faculties, though it undergoes transformation, it is not called material nutriment. If material substances at the time of swallowing do not produce joy, nor can they cause the faculties to be delighted, at that time it is not called nutriment at all.' Since the text is so deliberate in distinguishing this, how could one reconcile it by saying that it speaks provisionally in terms of the superior? Furthermore, in the Yogācārabhūmi and so forth, it is called nutriment only in view of nourishing the faculties, benefiting, transforming, and breaking down; if it merely removes hunger and thirst temporarily without yet benefiting the faculties through transformation, breakdown, and digestion, where is the meaning of nutriment? For this reason, we do not accept it. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 4.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1833.4.8) - [Next: 4.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1833.4.10) - [Up: 4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1833.4) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1833~en-mt.4.9) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [成唯識論了義燈](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1832.4.60) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1833.4.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1833.4.9) · Pramāṇa
