N: That is interesting. The wetnurse is a symbol for an indispensable 
support to grow. In sutta 7 it is kaya viveka. The translator thought 
of this for sutta 6 as well. Right concentration, sammaasamaadhi is 
indispensable to know only one object at a time: the eye. seeing, etc.
Now this explains the mistake. Thank you for the interesting 
information,
with respect,
Nina.
