just my opinion but the last  line  is saying that these colours via the meaning of the colours is “how the bird moves” so to speak


ashvaghosha's view is fundamentally solipsistic , again in my opinion


i have a different interpretation of the significance of the colours, red is a unity of infinity and reality and the most potent and personally crucifying of the colours, though there can be a certain benignness to it



blue is sort of like a high energy coupling of infinity, dangerous and manic and only taking infinity in this high energy way


gold is new to me and i have yet to work it out, probably some illusory safe area!


white i usually take to be a sexually charged colour !
