14.409

列出六種所行之性猶是境界現前之義，又本地分第三卷列名未解，此下當釋。測云：一、長短等依顯色立故名依處；二、青等顯色有實體相故名由相；三、諸方出物色類各別；四、四時出色；五、如晴中色由明故可見，如日月色體有光明不假餘明故不明了可見；六、或有色物由全分見始可得知，或有色物見少分即知其色。

Listing the six kinds of natures of the domain of activity still has the meaning of the sensory realm being directly present; furthermore, the third fascicle of the Maulī Bhūmiḥ listed the names without explaining them, which will be explained below. Ce says: First, length, shortness, and the like are established based on manifest color, hence called 'by basis'; second, manifest colors such as blue have real substantial characteristics, hence called 'by characteristic'; third, the varieties of material objects produced in various directions are distinct; fourth, colors produced in the four seasons; fifth, as colors on a clear day can be seen due to light, whereas the substances of the colors of the sun and moon have illumination and do not depend on other light, so they are not clearly seen; sixth, some material objects can only be known by seeing the whole part, while some material objects have their color known by seeing only a small part.
