【oja^
】 'nutriment' (synonym of a^ha^ra, q.v.), is one of those 8 minimal constituent parts, or qualities, of all corporeality, to wit: the solid, liquid, heat, motion; colour, odour, taste and nutriment. This is the 'octad with nutriment as the eighth (factor)' (ojatthamaka-kala^pa), also called the 'pure eightfold unit' (suddhatthaka-kala^pa), being the most primitive material combination. For further details, s. rúpa-kala^pa.
