瑜伽師地論略纂 10.47

10.47

論解因中云「慧施光明鮮淨衣物，名形色因」者，言形者，非形顯之形，若形顯之形，即有光明顯色因感形色果義，故知形者但是身形之形，以通顯色為因故。又同聚故，即以顯色為因感形色者，何違也？故形或是形顯之形。

Where the treatise explains causes, saying, "Wisely bestowing bright, fresh, and clean clothing and goods is called the cause of bodily form (saṃsthāna-rūpa)": as for the word "form," it does not mean "shape" as opposed to "color" (saṃsthāna versus varṇa). If it were shape in contrast to color, then there would be the sense of a cause of bright color (varṇa-rūpa) producing a fruit of shape (saṃsthāna-rūpa); thus one knows that "form" here simply means the physical body's form, because it broadly takes visible color as its cause. Furthermore, because they belong to the same aggregate, if visible color acts as the cause producing physical shape, what contradiction is there? Therefore, "form" might also be shape in contrast to color.
