[454] Is the eye (cakkhu) a faculty (indriya)? Yes. Are faculties the 'I shall come to know the unknown' faculty (anaññātaññassāmītindriya)? The 'I shall come to know the unknown' faculty is both a faculty and the 'I shall come to know the unknown' faculty; the remaining faculties are faculties, but not the 'I shall come to know the unknown' faculty. Is the eye a faculty? Yes. Are faculties the perfect-knowledge faculty (aññindriya)? The perfect-knowledge faculty is both a faculty and the perfect-knowledge faculty; the remaining faculties are faculties, but not the perfect-knowledge faculty. Is the eye a faculty? Yes. Are faculties the perfect-knower faculty (aññātāvindriya)? The perfect-knower faculty is both a faculty and the perfect-knower faculty; the remaining faculties are faculties, but not the perfect-knower faculty.
