(2) A molecule of five space points is not ātman from the point of view of other nature (paratva).
(3) A molecule of five space points is indescribable from both the self and other nature.
(4,5, and 6) These are similar to the predicational propositions of the molecule of four space points.
(7) From the points of view of the modes of existence of two or three place units and of non-existence of two or three place units & of non-existence of two or three place units) a molecule of five space point is (two or three) ātmans. (When we take the mode of existence of two place units, then we should take the mode of non-existence of three place units. When we take the mode of existence of three place units we should also take the mode of non-existence of two place unit.)
(8), (9) and (10) These are similiar to the predicational forms similar to the molecule of four space points.
(11) From the point of view of mode of existence of two or three place units and of existence and non-existence of two or three place units a molecule of five space points is (two or three) ātmans and is (two or three) inexpressible.
12, 13 and 14 predicational forms are similar to the predicational forms of a molecule of four space points.
(15) From the points of view of the modes of existence and nonexistence of two or three place units, and of non-existence of two or three place units, a molecule of five space points is not (two or three) ātmans and is (two or three) indescribable.
(16) This propositional form is similar to the propositional form of the molecule of four space points.
(17) From the point of view of existence of one place unit, nonexistence of the one place unit of the modes of existence and non-existence of one of numerous place units, a molecule of space of five points is ātman, is not ātman and is indescribable.
