[5127 8 577 From the two factors of *bheda* (difference) and *samghata* (combination), *skandhas* (aggregates) with two regions and so on arise. Otherwise, it is by the difference of one from another and their combination. Thus, the cause of the origin of *skandhas* is stated. $ 577. To show the cause of the origin of *anu* (atom), it is said:
From *bheda* (difference), *anu* (atom) arises. ||27|| 8 578. "A rule is for the sake of establishing a truth that is already established." The origin of *anu* is from *bheda* (difference) alone, not from *samghata* (combination) nor from both *bheda* and *samghata*.
6579. It is said, when the origin of *skandhas* from *samghata* (combination) is already established, the inclusion of *bheda* and *samghata* is meaningless. To explain the purpose of including these two factors, it is said:
From *bheda* and *samghata*, *chakshusha* (visible) arises. ||28|| 8580. Even though produced from an infinite collection of infinite *paramanus* (atoms), some *skandhas* are *chakshusha* (visible) and some are *achakshusha* (invisible). Of these, how does the *achakshusha* become *chakshusha*? It is said: From *bheda* and *samghata*, *chakshusha* arises. Not from *bheda* alone. What is the reason for this? It is said: Due to the *bheda* (difference) of a *skandha* with subtle transformation, it does not lose its subtlety, and therefore remains *achakshusha* (invisible). Another *skandha* with subtle transformation, even though it undergoes *bheda* (difference), combines with another *samghata* (combination), and therefore loses its subtlety, giving rise to grossness, and becomes *chakshusha* (visible). And *samghata* from these two, *skandhas* with two regions and so on arise. The meaning is that when there is *bheda* (difference) from another *skandha* and *samghata* (combination) of another, then together *bheda* and *samghata* from these two also, the origin of *skandha* takes place. Thus, the cause of the origin of *skandhas* is stated.
8 577. Now, to show the cause of the origin of *anu* (atom), the next sutra says:
From *bheda* (difference), *anu* (atom) arises. ||27||
8 578. Any rule, even if it is already established, is for the sake of establishing that rule. The meaning is that *anu* (atom) arises from *bheda* (difference), even though this is already established, yet by constructing this sutra ' *anu* ', this rule is established that the origin of *anu* is only from *bheda* (difference). It does not arise from *samghata* (combination) nor from both *bheda* and *samghata*.
579. When the origin of *skandhas* from *samghata* (combination) is already established, then the inclusion of both *bheda* and *samghata* in the sutra is meaningless. Therefore, to explain the purpose of including these two factors, the next sutra says:
From *bheda* and *samghata*, *chakshusha* (visible) *skandha* arises. ||28||
8580. Even though produced from an infinite collection of infinite *paramanus* (atoms), some *skandhas* are *chakshusha* (visible) and some are *achakshusha* (invisible). Of these, how does the *achakshusha* become *chakshusha*? It is said: From *bheda* and *samghata*, *chakshusha* arises, not from *bheda* alone. This is the meaning of this sutra. Doubt: What is the reason for this? Solution: The same reason is explained further: Due to the *bheda* (difference) of a *skandha* with subtle transformation, it does not lose its subtlety, and therefore remains *achakshusha* (invisible). Another *skandha* with subtle transformation, even though it undergoes *bheda* (difference), combines with another *samghata* (combination), and therefore loses its subtlety, giving rise to grossness, and becomes *chakshusha* (visible). 1.
