The instrument beginning with the great principle is to be understood as thirteenfold: the five faculties of cognition beginning with the eye, and the five faculties of action beginning with speech—thus the instrument is thirteenfold. What does it do? To this it is said: "it accomplishes grasping, retaining, and illuminating." There, the faculties of action perform grasping and retaining, while the faculties of cognition perform illumination. Of how many kinds is its effect? To that it is stated: "and its effect is tenfold." The effect, that is to say the task, of that instrument is tenfold, of ten kinds: called sound, touch, form, taste, and odor, and called speaking, taking, walking, excretion, and sexual pleasure. This tenfold effect, illuminated by the faculties of cognition, the faculties of action grasp and retain. // 32
