(三)「鼻」──以应与香接触的种净为相,或以欲嗅因缘的业等起的种净为相。以牵引(鼻识)于香中为味。以保持鼻识为现起。以欲嗅因缘的业而生的(四大)种为足处。
Ñ(XIV,39): 3. The nose's characteristic is sensitivity of primary elements that is ready for the impact of odours; or its characteristic is sensitivity of primary elements originated by kamma sourcing from desire to smell. Its function is to pick up [an object] among odours. It is manifested as the footing of nose-consciousness. Its proximate cause is primary elements born of kamma sourcing from desire to smell.
