"Venerable Sir! How many colors, how many odors, how many tastes, and how many touches is an ultimate atom pudgala declared to possess?"
"Gautama! It is declared to possess one color, one odor, one taste, and two touches. If it possesses one color: it may be black, it may be blue, it may be red, it may be yellow, [or] it may be white. If it possesses one odor: it may be fragrant, [or] it may be foul-smelling. If it possesses one taste: it may be bitter, it may be pungent, it may be astringent, it may be sour, [or] it may be sweet. If it possesses two touches: (1) it may be cold and smooth, (2) it may be cold and rough, (3) it may be hot and smooth, [or] (4) it may be hot and rough.

Venerable Sir! How many colors up to how many touches is a two-space-point aggregate declared to possess?"
"Gautama! It is declared that it may possess one color, it may possess two colors; it may possess one odor, it may possess two odors; it may possess one taste, it may possess two tastes; it may possess two touches, it may possess three touches, [or] it may possess four touches.
If it possesses one color: it may be black up to it may be white.

If it possesses one odor: it may be fragrant, [or] it may be foul-smelling.
If it possesses two odors: fragrant and foul-smelling. As for tastes, [they are] as with colors. If it possesses two touches: it may be cold and smooth—thus just as with an ultimate atom pudgala, four [combinations]. If it possesses three touches: (1) entirely cold, partially smooth, partially rough; (2) entirely hot, partially smooth, partially rough; (3) entirely smooth, partially cold, partially hot; (4) entirely rough, partially cold, partially hot.
If it possesses four touches: (1) partially cold, partially hot, partially smooth, partially rough; these are nine combinations among touches.

Venerable Sir! How many colors does a three-space-point aggregate [possess]?" "As in the eighteenth śataka, sixth uddeśaka, up to declared to possess [up to] four touches. If it possesses one color: it may be black up to white.

If it possesses three colors: (1) it may be black, blue, and red; (2) it may be black, blue, and yellow; (3) it may be black, blue, and white; (4) it may be black, red, and yellow; (5) it may be black, red, and white; (6) it may be black, yellow, [and white]; (7) it may be blue, red, and yellow; (8) it may be blue, red, and white; (9) it may be blue, yellow, and white; (10) it may be red, yellow, and white; thus these ten three-color combinations.
If it possesses one odor: it may be fragrant, [or] it may be foul-smelling.
If it possesses two odors: fragrant and foul-smelling, three combinations. Tastes are like colors.
If it possesses two touches: it may be cold and smooth; thus just as for the two-space-point [aggregate], so there are four combinations.

all smooth, in one part heavy, in one part light, in one part cold, in one part hot, in one part unctuous, in one part dry—thus sixty-four combinations are to be stated with smooth also; all heavy, in one part rough, in one part smooth, in one part cold, in one part hot, in one part unctuous, in one part dry—thus sixty-four combinations are to be made with heavy also; all light, in one part rough, in one part smooth, in one part cold, in one part hot, in one part unctuous, in one part dry—thus sixty-four combinations are to be made with light also;
all cold, in one part rough, in one part smooth, in one part heavy, in one part light, in one part unctuous, in one part dry—thus sixty-four combinations are to be made with cold also; all hot, in one part rough, in one part smooth, in one part heavy, in one part light, in one part unctuous, in one part dry—thus sixty-four combinations are to be made with hot also; all unctuous, in one part rough, in one part smooth, in one part heavy, in one part light, in one part cold, in one part hot—thus sixty-four combinations are to be made with unctuous also;
all dry, in one part rough, in one part smooth, in one part heavy, in one part light, in one part cold, in one part hot—thus sixty-four combinations are to be made with dry also up to all dry, in multiple parts rough, in multiple parts smooth, in multiple parts heavy, in multiple parts light, in multiple parts cold, in multiple parts hot; thus for seven touches there are five hundred and twelve combinations.
If it has eight touches: In one part rough, in one part smooth, in one part heavy, in one part light, in one part cold, in one part hot, in one part unctuous, in one part dry: 4; in one part rough, in one part smooth, in one part heavy, in one part light, in one part cold, in multiple parts hot, in one part unctuous, in one part dry: 4; in one part rough, in one part smooth, in one part heavy, in one part light, in multiple parts cold, in one part hot, in one part unctuous, in one part dry: 4; in one part rough, in one part smooth, in one part heavy, in one part light, in multiple parts cold, in multiple parts hot, in one part unctuous, in one part dry: 4; these four sets of four are sixteen combinations; in one part rough, in one part smooth, in one part heavy, in multiple parts light, in one part cold, in one part hot, in one part unctuous, in one part dry; thus with heavy as singular and light as plural, sixteen combinations are to be made; in one part rough, in one part smooth, in multiple parts heavy, in one part light, in one part cold, in one part hot, in one part unctuous, in one part dry—these sixteen combinations also are to be made; in one part rough, in one part smooth, in multiple parts heavy, in multiple parts light, in one part cold, in one part hot, in one part unctuous, in one part dry—these sixteen combinations also are to be made; all these are sixty-four combinations with rough and smooth taken as singular;
then with rough as singular and smooth as plural, these sixty-four combinations are to be made; then with rough as plural and smooth as singular, sixty-four combinations are to be made; then with both of these as plural, sixty-four combinations are to be made up to in multiple parts rough, in multiple parts smooth, in multiple parts heavy, in multiple parts light, in multiple parts cold, in multiple parts hot, in multiple parts unctuous, in multiple parts dry—this is the final combination; all these for eight touches amount to two hundred and fifty-six combinations.
Thus, for this gross-transformed aggregate of infinite space-points, across all combinations there are twelve hundred and ninety-six combinations.
