6.50

[Ghrāṇa]: Here translated as "capable of smelling." The Yogācārabhūmi says: "Repeatedly due to this, one is capable of smelling scents; therefore it is named 'nose,' which has the meaning of being capable of smelling." The Śūraṅgama-sūtra says: "The nose is like a pair of hanging claws." Or it is said: "The nose is like a needle case filled with needles."
