1.626

述曰：若彼救言：因、果相受入。如一沙受水；鍮石之藥入於鎔銅。沙得水而不增；銅得藥而不長。即水入沙腹中；藥入銅裏。因極微得果色，因不增大，如沙受水等，故無違者，牒彼計也。

The Commentary states: If they defend their position by saying: Cause and effect mutually receive and enter each other, just as a grain of sand receives water, or as calamine powder enters molten copper. The sand receives water without expanding, and the copper receives the powder without growing. That is, the water enters into the interior of the sand, and the powder enters into the inside of the copper. When the causal atoms receive the material effect, the causes do not enlarge, just as sand receives water and so forth, and thus there is no contradiction—this cites their thesis.
