in the composite bodies constituted by less than infinitely infinite (anant"ananta) param"a]nus. Only when the number of constituent ultimate atoms exceeds the threshold of nonassociability, then and only then they could be used by the psychic order of existence. This does not mean that all the composite bodies with larger number than mentioned above possess this attribute. Some of them can be associated and some of them cannot be, as we shall
see below.” (See foot-note 12 (b). 92. (a) 2412414 Alzat, 4961, 98/4/8, 028/484/99

The fifth category is the first one which crosses the above mentioned threshold of associability. In this category fall the groups of aud"arika, vaikriya, "ah"araka and «svasocchy"asa. 'Ah"ara literally means association. Hence, "ah"ara varga]n"a stands for the category of pudgala
endowed with associability. 6. Prathama agr"ahya (i.e. First unassociable category) 7. Taijas (Luminous) 8. Second unassociable category. 9. Bh"a]s"a (Matter essential for function of speech) 10. Third unassociable category. 11. Manas (Matter essential for the function of thinking) 12. Fourth unassociable category. 13. K"arma]na (Matter responsible for contaminating souls).
This is the most subtle category of pudgala which has many
practical significances. 14-22. These categories are of little practical significance and are
merely of academic interest. 23. The 23rd category is mah"askandha i.e. the largest aggre
gate which pervades the entire cosmic space.”
