āSeyyathÄpi, bhikkhave, ayaį¹ kÄyo ÄhÄraį¹į¹hitiko, ÄhÄraį¹ paį¹icca tiį¹į¹hati, anÄhÄro no tiį¹į¹hati; āMendicants, this body is sustained by food. It depends on food to continue, and without food it doesnāt continue. For the phrase āsustained by foodā see DN 33:1.8.2, AN 10.27:10.5, AN 10.28:4.5, Kp 4:1.2 and notes. The word ÄhÄra, literally āintakeā, may be translated as āfoodā or āfuelā depending on context.
evameva kho, bhikkhave, paƱca nÄ«varaį¹Ä ÄhÄraį¹į¹hitikÄ, ÄhÄraį¹ paį¹icca tiį¹į¹hanti, anÄhÄrÄ no tiį¹į¹hanti. In the same way, the five hindrances are sustained by fuel. They depend on fuel to continue, and without fuel they donāt continue. This passage can be seen as an expansion of the fourth satipaį¹į¹hÄna, āobservation of principlesā, where the āprinciplesā underlying the rise and fall of the hindrances and awakening factors are investigated. Similar teachings recur throughout this section, for example SN 46.51.
Ko ca, bhikkhave, ÄhÄro anuppannassa vÄ kÄmacchandassa uppÄdÄya, uppannassa vÄ kÄmacchandassa bhiyyobhÄvÄya vepullÄya? And what fuels the arising of sensual desire, or, when it has arisen, makes it increase and grow?
Atthi, bhikkhave, subhanimittaį¹. There is the feature of beauty. āFeature of beautyā is subhanimitta. In early Pali, nimitta is used for a feature or quality of the mind that, when focused on, promotes the growth of similar or related qualities. Thus focusing on beauty fosters the desire for that beauty. (See MN 5:6.1).

Atthi, bhikkhave, kusalÄkusalÄ dhammÄ, sÄvajjÄnavajjÄ dhammÄ, hÄ«napaį¹Ä«tÄ dhammÄ, kaį¹hasukkasappaį¹ibhÄgÄ dhammÄ. There are qualities that are skillful and unskillful, blameworthy and blameless, inferior and superior, and those with a portion of dark or bright. Discrimination between good and evil is the foundation of wisdom. | The phrase sappaį¹ibhÄgÄ, which appears here in a stock phrase, is given three mutually exclusive explanations in the commentary (see Bodhiās note on this sutta). I think the commentary is influenced by the later sense of paį¹ibhÄgÄ as a technical meditation term meaning ācounterpartā. This sense is, however, absent from Sanskrit, where pratibhÄga means āportion, shareā (Rig Veda 8.99.3, Manu 8.307). The sense would then refer to individuals āwith a portionā of dark or bright qualities. This is, in fact, the theme of the only other passage in Pali that uses this term (AN 6.62:10.2).
