He wished to seize it with the skin — and could not seize it with the skin. If he had seized it with the skin, one would be satisfied with food merely by touching [it].

The fifth attempt — tvacā: with the skin, with touch. If touch could seize — spṛṣṭvā haiva annam atrapsyat — "one would be full by handling it".
Touch is the most intimate of the outer senses: no longer from a distance (like eye and ear) but at close quarters, skin against crust. And still — a miss: to hold bread in the hand is not to be fed; possession by contact is not yet assimilation. How many who have are hungry with their hands full: contact, however close, does not transmute a thing into life.
The series of misses draws an ever finer line: food must not adhere to the body but enter it and become it. The outer senses are exhausted — all five have certified their inability to seize. Now come the inner ones.
