(二)「耳」──以应与声接触的种净为相,或以欲闻因缘的业等起的种净为相。以牵引(耳识)于声中为味。以保持耳识为现起。以欲闻因缘的业而生的(四大)种为足处。
Ñ(XIV,38): 2. The ear's characteristic is sensitivity of primary elements that is ready for the impact of sounds; or its characteristic is sensitivity of primary elements originated by kamma sourcing from desire to hear. Its function is to pick up [an object] among sounds. It is manifested as the footing of ear-consciousness. Its proximate cause is primary elements born of kamma sourcing from desire to hear.
