答。變現相是色相。此有三。觸對變壞。謂由手足。乃至蚊蛇所觸對時。即便變壞。二方所示現。謂由方所可相示現。

Answer: The characteristic of alteration and manifestation is the characteristic of form. This has three [aspects]: alteration and decay upon contact, meaning that when touched by hands or feet, up to mosquitoes and snakes, it immediately alters and decays; second, spatial manifestation, meaning it can be manifested by way of spatial location.
