434. Keci pana ‘‘tejādhikānaṃ bhūtānaṃ pasādo cakkhu, vāyupathavīāpādhikānaṃ bhūtānaṃ pasādā sotaghānajivhā, kāyo sabbesampī’’ti vadanti.

然而有人（指大众部）说：眼是火的成分多的诸大种的净（根）。耳、鼻、舌（次第的）是风、地、水的成分多的诸大种的净（根）。身是一切（大种平均）的净（根）。

Ñ(XIV,42): Some, however, say that the eye is sensitivity of primary elements that have fire in excess, and that the ear, nose, and tongue are sensitivity of primary elements that have [respectively] air, earth, and water in excess, and that the body is that of all [four equally].

Apare ‘‘tejādhikānaṃ pasādo cakkhu, vivaravāyuāpapathavādhikānaṃ sotaghānajivhākāyā’’ti vadanti.

其它的人又说：眼是火的成分多的（诸大种的净根），耳、鼻、舌、身（次第的）是虚空、风、水、地的成分多的（大种的净根）。

Ñ: Others say that the eye is sensitivity of those that have fire in excess, and that the ear, nose, tongue, and body are [sensitivity] of those that have [respectively] aperture, air, water, and earth in excess.

Te vattabbā ‘‘suttaṃ āharathā’’ti.

那么，应该反问他们说：「请拿经典来为证」！

Ñ: They should be asked to quote a sutta.

Addhā suttameva na dakkhissanti.

自然他们是找不到那样的经的。

Ñ: They will certainly not find one.
