262.2
kathaṃ tarhīme guṇā viniyoktavyā iti?
How then are these qualities to be assigned?
262.3
ekaikaśyenottarottaraguṇasadbhāvād uttarottarāṇāṃ tadanupalabdhiḥ ||
Because each has the subsequent quality one by one, there is non-apprehension of those subsequent ones.
262.4
gandhādīnām ekaiko yathākramaṃ pṛthivyādīnām ekaikasya guṇaḥ, ataḥ ``tadanupalabdhiḥ'' teṣāṃ tayoḥ tasya cānupalabdhiḥ ---
Smell and the rest are one by one, in order, the quality of each of earth and the others; therefore 'there is non-apprehension of those'—that is, the non-apprehension of those [three], of those two, and of that [one]—
262.5
ghrāṇena rasarūpasparśānāṃ rasanena rūpasparśayoḥ cakṣuṣā sparśasyeti/
kathaṃ tarhy anekaguṇāni bhūtāni gṛhyanta iti?
saṃsargāc cānekaguṇagrahaṇam/ abādisaṃsargāc ca pṛthivyāṃ rasādayo gṛhyante evaṃ śeṣeṣv apīti//65//
namely, of taste, color, and touch by the olfactory organ; of color and touch by the gustatory organ; and of touch by the visual organ. How then are the elements apprehended as having multiple qualities? And the grasping of multiple qualities is due to mixture. Due to the mixture of water and the rest, taste and the other [qualities] are grasped in earth; and so it is with the rest.
