Answer: The *Samuccaya* says: 'Only because the body and its apparatus are able to serve as the doorways of arising and growth for the six modes of future enjoyment. That is, just as the characteristics of past and present enjoyment of the six modes are upheld by the eyes and so forth, so too the characteristics of future enjoyment of the six modes take the faculties and objects as their doorways of arising and growth. The twelve bases are established solely on the basis of faculties and objects, and not on the basis of the consciousness of the six modes of enjoyment.'
