People, please provide us with parallels for the often lazy particular extracts, that are usually without them.

“Bhikkhus, there are these ten kasiṇa fields of experience.
What ten?
One person perceives the earth kasiṇa above, below, across, nondual, undisplayed/appamāṇa (unmanifested). One person perceives the water kasiṇa … the fire kasiṇa … the air kasiṇa … the blue kasiṇa … the yellow kasiṇa … the red kasiṇa … the white kasiṇa … the space kasiṇa … the consciousness kasiṇa above, below, across, nondual, undisplayed (unmanifested).
These are the ten kasiṇa bases.”
Dasayimāni, bhikkhave, kasiṇāyatanāni. Katamāni dasa? Pathavīkasiṇameko sañjānāti uddhaṃ adho tiriyaṃ advayaṃ appamāṇaṃ; āpokasiṇameko sañjānāti … pe … tejokasiṇameko sañjānāti … vāyokasiṇameko sañjānāti … nīlakasiṇameko sañjānāti … pītakasiṇameko sañjānāti … lohitakasiṇameko sañjānāti … odātakasiṇameko sañjānāti … ākāsakasiṇameko sañjānāti … viññāṇakasiṇameko sañjānāti uddhaṃ adho tiriyaṃ advayaṃ appamāṇaṃ*. Imāni kho, bhikkhave, dasa kasiṇāyatanānī”ti.
AN 10.25
A somewhat parallel on the ten kasiṇā nonduality is in SA 109 (although not really addressing it the same way).
*Here appamāṇa does not mean "measureless" (Bodhi's translation - [from commentaries I suppose]) , but "unexhibited" , "undisplayed".
प्रमाण pramāṇa [act. pramā]
प्रमा pramā [obj. pramā]
प्रमा pramā [pra- √mā]
√ मा mā - pp. (mita)
- to show , display , exhibit RV.
NOTE:
Nimitta (manifestation/expression — also from √ mā, ) is often associated with anuvyañjana = a mark that causes to appear, to be manifest (usually by its attractiveveness).
It is through this mark that the nimitta (manifestation proper, ) is usually grasped.It would be better, bhikkhus, for the eye faculty to be lacerated by a red-hot iron pin burning, blazing, and glowing, than for one to grasp the manifestation through the ornaments alongsid
, e in a form cognizable by the eye.
Varaṃ, bhikkhave, tattāya ayosalākāya ādittāya sampajjalitāya sajotibhūtāya cakkhundriyaṃ sampalimaṭṭhaṃ, na tveva cakkhuviññeyyesu rūpesu anubyañjanaso nimittaggāho.
SN 35.235
To be in the field of experience of a kasiṇa, is to see clearly with the (liberated) citta* the undisplayed, unmanifested mahābhūta — or such nāma kind of qualia (quale,) like red, yellow, etc., in the nāmarūpa nidāna — or the unmanifested space, or the unmanifested sense-consciousness (aka anidassana viññāṇa).
*That is to say, liberated FROM the ceto - (the polluted citta by mano (viz. manosañcetana) - aka ceto-vimutti
