答。將第二義簡云。有境。言有境者。即有照境緣境功能。除心心所及五色根識。餘法皆非有境。今四大五塵命根等。雖有決定義。而闕有境義。故非所依。

> Answer: We exclude them using the second characteristic: 'possessing an object.' 'Possessing an object' means having the capacity to illuminate and condition objects. Except for citta, caittas, and the consciousnesses of the five material faculties, all other phenomena do not possess objects. Now, although the four elements, the five sense data, the vital faculty, and so forth possess the meaning of determination, they lack the characteristic of possessing an object, and therefore are not bases.
