**Interrelation of Color, Smell, Taste, Touch, and Shape:**
The interrelation of color, smell, taste, touch, and shape gives rise to **bhaṅgajāla** (combinations). The text now describes the combinations that arise from the interrelation of these five qualities with the four types of **skandha** (aggregates).
**Explanation:**
When a pudgala is transformed into one of the five colors, and also into one of the two smells, five tastes, eight touches, and five shapes, then there are 100 combinations (20 + 20 + 20 + 20 + 20 = 100).
When a pudgala is transformed into one of the two smells, and also into one of the five colors, five tastes, eight touches, and five shapes, then there are 46 combinations (23 + 23 = 46).
