First, "no fixed marks" means that because the small is not definitively small, it can accommodate the large; because the large is not definitively large, it can enter the small. The "Chapter on the Ten Abodes" says: "Mounts Cakravāḍa, boundless in number, / Can all be placed on a single tip of hair; / Wanting to know that the utmost large has the mark of the small, / The bodhisattva for this reason first generates the mind [for awakening]." The explanation says: This clarifies that the large is not large, and therefore possesses the mark of the small.
