Answer: 'Do not be confused by the word; grasp its far-reaching intent. "Dyeing" refers to breaking away from worldly colors; thus, being dyed, it is an emblem of color. Hence we know that it relies on both aspects of the Way while casting aside the worldly. Therefore, in the Vinaya, dyeing the five primary colors with the kāṣāya color produces a color that accords with the Dharma.'
