Seeing this, one is practicing for disillusionment, dispassion, and cessation regarding what has come to be.
Bhūtamidanti yathābhūtaṁ sammappaññāya disvā bhūtassa nibbidāya virāgāya nirodhāya paṭipanno hoti.
One truly sees with right wisdom that it originated with that as fuel.
Tadāhārasambhavanti yathābhūtaṁ sammappaññāya passati.
I think the kāya here is breath what is known thanks to the breath and is belonging to the feeling khandha not rūpa,

according to Visuddhimagga breath is known by the contact.
kayasankhara is a feeling what is felt by the contact, i think its the internal breath
