[CHAPTER VI. The Category of Form under a Sixfold Aspect.] [967] (i.) The sphere of visible forms is form cognizable by sight. (ii.) The sphere of sounds is form cognizable by hearing. (iii.) The sphere of odours is form cognizable by smell. (iv.) The sphere of tastes is form cognizable by taste. (v.) The sphere of the tangible is form cognizable by body-sensibility. (vi.) All form is form cognizable by the mind. Such is the Category of Form under a Sixfold Aspect. [End of] the Group of Six. [CHAPTER VII. The Category of Form under a Sevenfold Aspect.] [968] [969] (i.) The sphere of visible form is form cognizable by sight. (ii.) The sphere of sound is form cognizable by hearing. (iii.) The sphere of odour is form cognizable by smell. (iv.) The sphere of taste is form cognizable by taste. (v.) The sphere of the tangible is form cognizable by body-sensibility. (vi.) The spheres of visible form, sound, odour, taste, and the tangible are form cognizable by the element of ideation. (vii.) All form is form comprehensible by the element of representative intellection. Such is the Category of Form under a Sevenfold Aspect. [End of] the Group of Seven. [CHAPTER VIII. The Category of Form under an Eightfold Aspect.] [970] (i.) The sphere of visible form is form cognizable by the eye. (ii.) The sphere of sound is form cognizable by the ear. (iii.) The sphere of odour is form cognizable by the nose. (iv.) The sphere of taste is form cognizable by the tongue. (v.) Pleasurable agreeable contact obtainable by touch is form cognizable by the body. (vi.) Unpleasant disagreeable contact obtainable by touch is form cognizable by the body. (vii.) The spheres of the five kinds of sense-objects are form cognizable by ideation. (viii) All form is form comprehensible by representative intellection. Such is the Category of Form under an Eightfold Aspect. [End of] the Group of Eight. [CHAPTER IX. The Category of Form under a Ninefold Aspect.] [971-973] What is that form which is (i.) the faculty of vision ? (v.) the faculty of body-sensibility? (viii.) the potentiality of vitality? The eight answers are those given in the original descriptions of the eight faculties or potentialities enumerated (§§ 597, 601, 605, 609, 613, 633-535). (ix.) What is that form which is not faculty? The spheres of the five kinds of sense-objects. . .1 and bodily nutriment. Such is the Category of Form under a Ninefold Aspect. [End of] the Group of Nine. 1 That is to say, the remainder of § 596, but omitting, of course, the three 'indriyas' of the sexes and vitality, and presumably inserting the element of fluidity' (cf. p. 203, n. 3). [CHAPTER X. The Category of Form under a Tenfold Aspect.] [974, 975] The first eight questions and answers are identical with the first eight in the preceding group. [976, 977] What is that form which is (ix.) not faculty but impingeing? The spheres of the five kinds of sense-objects. (x.) not faculty and non-impingeing? Intimation .1 and bodily nutriment. Such is the Category of Form under a Tenfold Aspect. [End of] the Group of Ten. 1 That is to say, the remainder of § 596, beginning at bodily intimation, and presumably inserting the element of fluidity.' |
