322.3
tvakparyantatvāc charīrasya keśanakhādiṣv aprasaṅgaḥ ||
[NyS 3.2.52] Because the body extends [only] up to the skin, [the objection] does not apply to hair, nails, and so forth.
322.4
indriyāśrayatvaṃ śarīralakṣaṇam, tvakparyantaṃ jīvamanaḥsukhaduḥkhasaṃvittyāyatanabhūtaṃ śarīram, tasmān na keśādiṣu cetanotpadyate/ arthakāritas tu śarīropanibandhaḥ keśādīnām iti//52//
The definition of the body is being the locus of the sense organs; the body, which has the skin as its limit, is the abode of living, the mind, and the experience of pleasure and pain; therefore, consciousness does not arise in hair and so forth. But the connection of hair and so forth with the body is brought about for a purpose.
