When two or more atoms combine together a molecule is formed. A molecule is said to be substance “ Matter” from the practical point of view. Attributes and modifications of molecules so formed are known as non-natural attributes and modifications. Atoms are never apprehensible by the senses, while molecules may be tangible to the senses.
गमणणिमित्तं धम्ममधम्म ठिदि जीवपुग्गलाणं च । अवगहणं आयासं जीवादीसव्वदव्वाणं ॥ ३०॥ गमननिमित्तो धर्मोऽधर्मः स्थितेः जीवपुद्गलानां च ।

समयावलिभेदेण दु दुवियप्पं अहव होइ तिवियप्पं । तीदो संखेज्जावलिहदसंठाणप्पमाणं तु ॥ ३१ ॥
समयावलिभेदेन तु द्विविकल्पोऽथवा भवति त्रिविकल्पः। अतीतोऽसंख्यातावलिहतसंस्थानं प्रमाणं तु ॥ ३१ ॥

जीवादु पुग्गलादोऽणंतगुणा चावि संपदा समया। लोयायासे संति य परमट्ठो सो हवे कालो ॥ ३२ ॥ जीवात् पुद्गलतोऽनंतगुणाश्चापि संप्रति समयाः। लोकाकाशे संति च परमार्थः स भवेत्कालः ॥ ३२ ॥
