Translation
The unique quality of ether is the sense object sound, the object of perception for the ear. The unique quality of air is the sense object touch, the object of perception of the skin.
The senses have already been mentioned in relation to the sense objects. Their qualities are now described. The unique quality of ether is sound, which is the sense object for the ear.
