and even micro-photography (or high-frequency photography like Kirliean effect), but they (sensations) cannot be displayed in the form of any material entity.
This doctrine of intangibility has been illustrated by the defusion of the fragrant particles. Even the spread of the fragrant particles all over the continent of Jambūdvīpa which has the diameter of 1 lakh yojana and the circumference of more than 3 lakh yojanas by a god, travelling with super-luminal speed to traverse more than 6300000 yojanas in a second which is higher than the velocity of light (which is about 300000 kilometers per second) cannot be made tangible, so also, the sensations of pleasure and pain cannot be objectively displayed. (1 yojana is, in no case, less that 12.8 kms). Semantics kolasthiga (kolatthiga)---kola + asthiga = the stone of a berry.
According to Apte, kolam is a kind of berry and kolā is badari (jujube). Vrtti has explained it as kuvalasthika. For the meanings of nipphava, masa, etc., see Bhāsya on Bha. 6.126-131. accharanivaehim-snapping the thumb against a finger.

goyamā! jīve tāva niyamā jīve, jīve vi niyamā jīve. The Topic of Soul and Consciousness
Is' jīva (i.e., a soul), O Lord! jīva (i.e., consciousness)? Is consciousness, O Lord! a soul? Gautama! jīva (a soul) is necessarily jīva (consciousness), and jīva (consci
ousness) is necessarily jīva (a soul). 6.175 jīve nam bhamte! neraie? neraie jīve?
goyamā! neraie tāva niyamā jīve, jīve puna siya neraie, siya aneraie. Is jīva (soul), O Lord! an infernal? Is infernal, O Lord! jīva (a soul)? Gautama! an infernal is necessarily a soul. A soul, however, may be an
infernal, may not be an infernal. 6. 176 jīve nam bhamte! asurakumāre? asurakumāre jīve?
goyamā! asurakumāre tāva niyamā jīve, jīve puna siya asurakumāre, siya noasurakumāre.
