[These qualities] that inhere in a substance are perceptible only in a large [substance], hence [the text] says "mahati." And if blue and other [colors] of four types are maintained to be single [and] partless in that substance, then when there is manifestation of blue and other colors inhering in a large substance like a jar situated in a room through lamplight coming through a small aperture like a keyhole, the manifestation and perception of the entire color extending throughout the substance would follow, because [the color] is partless.
