4.25

「若爾大種至一四大種故」者，此即難也。若四大種約體說者，事應成多。色、香、味、觸諸所造色，各別依一四大種故，并本為五，八應成二十、九應成二十五、十應成三十。若有聲生，二十至二十五、二十五三十、三十至三十五。

"If so, the great elements ... since each depends on a set of four great elements": this is the challenge. If the four great elements are spoken of in terms of real entities, the real entities should turn out to be more. Visible matter, odor, taste, and touch—these created matters—each depend separately on one set of four great elements; combined with the four basics, they make five. Eight should turn out to be twenty, nine should turn out to be twenty-five, and ten should turn out to be thirty. If sound arises, twenty becomes twenty-five, twenty-five becomes thirty, and thirty becomes thirty-five.
