1. A particular colour and a particular form 2. A particular colour and diverse forms 3. Diverse colours and a particular form
4. Diverse colours and diverse forms
Transformation in matter can take place spontaneously by nature or can be brought about by extraneous force, i.e., an endeavour of a soul, endowed with such capacity. (Cf. psychokeinesis in parapsychology). A black colour may get transformed into a blue colour spontaneously without extraneous cause. And similarly blue can get transformed ..... up to red. In the occult technique of solar science, there is the mention of the modus operandi of transforming colour, odour and form. The present Sūtra seems to give hint to its basic principle.
