疏「佛法中凡境為小」者,問無色。無色無有分量,何有大小?答:大乘之中許有色故。〈離世間品〉明「菩薩鼻根聞無色界宮殿香故。」此有二意:一無麁有細;二無其相色,有通果色故。

Regarding the commentary's statement, "Within the Buddha-Dharma, the mundane sphere is small": A question asks about the formless realm: The formless has no quantitative measurement; how can there be large or small? Answer: Because within the Mahāyāna, form is admitted [there]. The 'Chapter on Leaving the World' explains: "The bodhisattva's olfactory faculty smells the fragrance of palaces in the formless realm." This has two meanings: first, there is no coarse form, but there is subtle form; second, there is no form of characteristic marks, but there is form produced by mastery.
