「以它而使食的饮的嚼的尝的得以消化」即由于它而使食的饭等，饮的饮料等，嚼的面粉所作的硬食等及尝的芒果蜜砂糖等得以消化──由（消化）液等的作用而分化（食物）之义。

Ettha ca purimā tayo tejodhātusamuṭṭhānā.

这里前面的（热、老、燃烧）三火界是（业、心、食、时节的）四等起，

Ñ: And here the first three kinds of fire element [that is to say, 'is warmed', 'ages', and 'bums up'] are of fourfold origination (Ch. XX, §27ff.),

Notes in Chinese translation: 物质的生起，有从业、心、食物及时节的四种。从业生起的，叫业等起，余者亦然。

Pacchimo kammasamuṭṭhānova.

最后的（消化──火界）只是业等起。

Ñ: while the last is only kamma-originated.
