Does, O Lord! the black-lesyä, on appropriating the material clusters, suitable for blue-leśyā, transform again and again its form, colour, smell, taste and touch into those of the latter i.e. blue colouration)? Yes, O Gautama! the black-leśyā, on appropriating the material clusters, suitable for blue-leśyā, does transform its form, colour, smell, taste and touch into those of the latter (i.e. blue-leśyā). Thus, the fourth section of lesya-pada (chapter on leśyā), in the Pannavaņā (pada 17) is to be understood

Heterogeneous transformation, colour, taste, smell, pure, auspicious, unpolluted, hot, realms of birth, homogeneous self-transformation, number of pradeśas (indivisible units), volume, varieties of clusters, stages and relative numerical strength.
Bhāsya 1. Sutra 8
Attitudinal trends undergo constant transformation, bringing about corresponding change in leśyā (psychic colour) and aura. Just as a white peace of cloth transforms its colour into blue, red or yellow on account of its association with respective colours; in the same way the leśyās such as black etc. change on account of their association with material clusters of different colours (blue, etc.).
