produced therefrom. There are infinite number of such composite bodies in the world and they are nonacceptable for the constitution of Audarika type of body or physique.
Now if composite bodies are small in structure or form with large number of atoms, then they become acceptable for Audarika type of body or physique. In that case they become acceptable for Audarika type of physique. If the form of composite body of relevant varganas meant for Audarika type of physique is small and if atoms combined therein are numerous, then Audarika or vaikriya type of physique cannot be effected therefrom and thus they become unacceptable for Audarika or Vaikriya type of body. When its size becomes smaller with the increase of the number of atoms then it becomes acceptable for Vaikriya type of body.
Same rules apply in the case of Aharaka and Taijasa types of physiques, expression, respiration, mind and karmika varga
With the decrease in number of atoms unacceptable ones become acceptable. This you should bear in mind.
Some doubts are likely as to how all varganas can reside in one place? Would they not amalgamate with one another ? Supposing when soul is accumulating varganas required for composition of Audarika type of body, then how would varganas Vaikriya be not included? You must know this well.
The atoms and the composite bodies produced from atoms bear such power that they can reside together in any number viz. one, two or infinite number. This fact can be brought home by the example of a lamp. A room is capable of being occupied with the light of one lamp, hundreds of lamps and even thousands of lamps still however these lights do not clash strike or clatter with one another, nor do they destroy one another. At the same time light of every individual lamp is distinct and independent. Carry away a particular lamp and its respective light follows the lamp.
Moreover you also can stay in the same room along with illuminations. You can keep your family and your household possessions. Nothing can obstruct you.
This light is so gross as to be perceptible with eyes still it can stay in communion without any obstruction. Thus the atoms are very subtle and yet imperceptible to the eyes and they can stay
