2.65

Explanation: "Experiencing" (shou) means grasping, which explains the preceding "presently seen." "Meaning" (yi) refers to the object, clarifying that the preceding matter, by virtue of the faculty's capacity to uphold consciousness, then grasps the object; hence, it raises what is upheld to clarify the dhātu. This merely clarifies the dhātu, for dhātu means "capable of upholding," and does not speak of the meaning of "eye." Alternatively, upholding consciousness reveals the meaning of the dhātu, while the meaning of enjoyment clarifies the meaning of the eye.
