## Fifth Special Point (Synonym Point) [435]
There is mutual contradiction in them. Similarly, where there is a statement of cold touch in a pudgala atom, there should not be a statement of hot touch, because these two touches are mutually contradictory. Similarly, one should understand about other touches, such as: smooth and rough, soft and harsh, light and heavy are mutually contradictory touches. These mutually contradictory touches do not reside in the same atom. Therefore, they should not be mentioned in the atom.
## Explanation of the Synonym Form of the Various Expectations of the General Pudgala Skandhas like Jghanya etc. 554. [1]
[554-1 Pr.] Bhagavan! How many synonyms are there for the Jghanya-pradeshi Skandhas? [554-1 U.] Gautama! (There are) infinite synonyms (for them). [Pr.] Bhagavan! For what reason is it said (that there are infinite synonyms for the Jghanya-pradeshi Skandhas)? [U.] Gautama! One Jghanya-pradeshi Skandha is equal to another Jghanya-pradeshi Skandha in terms of substance, equal in terms of regions, possibly inferior in terms of penetration, possibly equal, and possibly superior. If inferior, then it is one region less, and if superior, then it is one region more. In terms of position, it is four-positioned, and in terms of color, smell, taste, and the four touches above, it is six-positioned.
[2] [554-2 Pr.] Bhagavan! How many synonyms are there for the Utkrushta-pradeshi Skandhas? [554-2 U.] Gautama! (There are) infinite synonyms (for them). [Pr.] Bhagavan!

One Utkrushta-pradeshi Skandha is equal to another Utkrushta-pradeshi Skandha in terms of substance, equal in terms of regions, four-positioned in terms of penetration, four-positioned in terms of position, and six-positioned in terms of color, smell, taste, and the eight touches above.
