________________ Pancastikaya-samgraha existence (sattavisesa or avantarasatta), that is the attribute of the individual substance. (see also Explanatory Note to verse 8, p. 19-20.) All these five substances are one with their aforementioned two kinds of existence. It is like this: the form, etc., in the pot is one with the pot; the hands, etc., in the body are one with the body. In each case, there is no question of either the supporter (adhara) or the supported (adheya). The atom (anu) connotes a single space-point (pradesa). All these five substances occupy multiple space-points and therefore are said to be 'anumahan'. For this reason, these five substances have the characteristic of the body (kaya). The matter (pudgala) comprising a single atom (anu) is empirically said to have the characteristic of the body (kaya) since the atoms of the matter, with their qualities of greasiness (snigdha) or roughness (ruksa), have the power to combine to form the molecular-matter (skandha). The time-atom (kalanu), being non-corporeal (amurtika), has no qualities of greasiness (snigdha) or roughness (ruksa) and does not have the power to combine with other time-atoms. The substance-of-time (kala dravya), therefore, does not possess the characteristic of the body (kaya), even empirically. @ @ . . . . 12
