53.36

Answer: An ancient commentary states: Each possesses two meanings. The first is maturation (vipāka); the second is nourishment (aupacayika). Take, for instance, the eye faculty: karma of the past bringing forth the eye of the present life is called the maturation eye; in the present life, making the small grow large and the thin become plump due to food and drink is called the nourished eye. The remaining five faculties are also like this.
