若是東、南等能詮之因及能緣因,名「方」;若是覺、樂、苦等九德和合因緣,能起智相,名「我」;若是覺、樂、苦等九德,不和合因緣能起智相,名「意」。此中以德顯其實體,諸德體者:眼所取一依,名「色」;舌所取一依,名「味」;鼻所取一依,名「香」;皮所取一依,名「觸」;一實非一實詮緣之因,名「數」;非一實者,二以上數,「量」有五種:一、微性,唯二微果上有。如薩婆多:輕不可稱,若可稱者,但重相形,非是輕也。此微性亦爾,唯最微,名「微」。下短性亦爾。二、大性,三微果等以上方有。三、短性,唯二微果上有。四、長性,三微果等以上方有。五、圓性,有二種:一、極微,謂不和合父母真實極微上有。二、極大,空、時、方、我四實上有,以此四體遍周圓故。

That which is the cause of verbal designation and the cause of cognising east, south, and so forth, is named "direction." That which is the cause and condition for the inherence of the nine qualities such as cognition, pleasure, and pain, and can generate the marks of knowing, is named "self." That which is the cause and condition for the non-inherence of the nine qualities such as cognition, pleasure, and pain, yet can generate the marks of knowing, is named "mind." Here, their substantial entities are revealed by means of qualities. The entities of the various qualities: That which is apprehended by the eye and resides in a single substance is named "colour/form." That which is apprehended by the tongue and resides in a single substance is named "taste." That which is apprehended by the nose and resides in a single substance is named "odour." That which is apprehended by the skin and resides in a single substance is named "touch." That which is the cause of designating and cognising one substance or non-one substance is named "number." "Non-one substance" refers to numbers from two upward. "Dimension" is of five kinds: (1) atomicity (aṇutva), which exists only on the effect of two atoms (dvyaṇuka). As in the Sarvāstivāda: lightness cannot be weighed; if it could be weighed, it would merely be compared to heaviness, not lightness itself. This atomicity is likewise: only the most minute is named "minute." The shortness below is likewise. (2) Greatness (mahattva), which exists only from the effect of three atoms (tryaṇuka) upward. (3) Shortness (hrasvatva), which exists only on the effect of two atoms. (4) Length (dīrghatva), which exists only from the effect of three atoms upward. (5) Sphericity (pārimāṇḍalya), of which there are two kinds: first, the infinitely small, which exists on the real, uncombined parent atoms; second, the infinitely large, which exists on the four substances of ether, time, direction, and self, because the entities of these four are completely omnipresent.
