1.38

Kang Senghui's commentary on the *Fajing jing* says: "Ordinary persons greedily crave the six sense objects, just like starving men craving food without knowing satiety. Now the noble ones sever greed and affection, and eliminate the famine of the six emotions; hence they are titled 'famine-eliminators'." The *Fenbie gongde lun* says: "Worldly people suffer famine regarding form and desire; because a bhikṣu eliminates this perception of famine for affection [he is called such]."
