The term "ruthi" refers to the two-fold nature of the "giddhanu" (a type of atom) and the "lukkhanu" (another type of atom). The "aravi" (non-material) nature of the "rukkha" (tree) is also known as "tanva" (body). ||614||
The "niddha" (dense) and the "lukkha" (light) are both difficult to understand. The "niddha" and the "lukkha" can bind together, whether they are similar or dissimilar. ||615||
The "rinaddhi" (dense) and the "sama" (similar) are both "dotigada" (two-fold) and "duuttara" (two-fold). Both the "sama" (similar) and the "visama" (dissimilar) are "sarisidara" (similar in nature). ||616||
The "votigapbhav" (origin of the "voti" - a type of atom) and the "duuttara" (two-fold) are both "sarana" (refuge) and "dugana" (two-fold). The "giddha" (dense) and the "lakkha" (light) are both "jahsnu" (enduring) and "bhaya" (fear). ||617||
The "rinaddhidaravaraguna" (dense, light, and other qualities) are "aidi" (bound) to the "sparadhana" (material world). The "bahirantaranga" (external and internal) qualities are "sangade" (connected) to the "gunantara" (other qualities). ||618||
The "riddhidaraguana" (dense, light, and other qualities) are "ahi" (bound) to the "parinama" (transformation) of the "bandha" (bond). The "sankhejjasaankhejjanaantapade" (countable, uncountable, and infinite) are "sarana" (refuge) and "khandhara" (destroyed). ||619||
**Gathaarth:**
The "snigdhatva" (smoothness) and the "rukshatva" (roughness) are caused by the "bandha" (bond). The "snigdha" (smooth) and the "ruksha" (rough) have countless, uncountable, and infinite variations. ||606||
The "snigdhatva" (smoothness) refers to the "jghannya" (inferior) quality. There are "dviguga" (two-fold), "triguna" (three-fold), "sankhyata" (countable), "asankhyata" (uncountable), and "ananta" (infinite) qualities. Similarly, there are "rukshatva" (roughness) qualities. ||610||
In this way, the "gunasamyukta" (quality-combined) "paramanu" (atom) is located in the "prathama vargana" (first category). The "paramanu" (atom) with two or more qualities is capable of binding. The binding of two "paramanu" (atoms) is a rule, not of less. ||611||
The "snigdha pudgala" (smooth atom) does not bind with other "snigdha pudgala" (smooth atoms), and the "ruksha pudgala" (rough atom) does not bind with other "ruksha pudgala" (rough atoms). However, the "sarasa" (similar in quality) and the "visadasa" (dissimilar in quality) "snigdha" (smooth) and "ruksha" (rough) "pudgala" (atoms) bind with each other. ||612||
The "visadrusha jati" (dissimilar type) "samguna" (similar quality) atom between the "snigdha" (smooth) and "ruksha" (rough) rows is called "rupa" (form), and the rest are called "arupa" (formless). ||613||
The "dviguna" (two-fold) "snigdha" (smooth) atom is "rupa" (form), but the "ekaguna" (one-fold) and "triguna" (three-fold) or more "snigdha" (smooth) atoms are "arupa" (formless). Similarly, this should be understood in relation to the "ruksha" (rough) atoms. ||614||
The "snigdha pudgala" (smooth atom) binds with the "snigdha pudgala" (smooth atom) that has two more qualities, and the "ruksha pudgala" (rough atom) binds with the "ruksha pudgala" (rough atom) that has two more qualities. The "snigdha pudgala" (smooth atom) binds with the "ruksha pudgala" (rough atom) when there is a "visama" (dissimilar) or "sama" (similar) quality, except for the "jghannya" (inferior) quality. ||615||
In both the "snigdha" (smooth) and the "ruksha" (rough), there is a "samadhara" (similar flow) when there is an increase of two qualities after two qualities, and there is a "visamadhara" (dissimilar flow) when there is an increase of two qualities after three qualities. Both the "sadasa" (similar) and the "visadrusha" (dissimilar) are present in both the "sama" (similar) and the "visama" (dissimilar). ||616||
In the "snigdha" (smooth), there is an increase of two qualities after two qualities, and an increase of two qualities after three qualities. Because there is a difference of two, the "snigdha" (smooth) binds with the "snigdha" (smooth). Similarly, this should be understood in relation to the "ruksha" (rough), but the "jghannya" (inferior) does not bind in both. ||617||
The "snigdha" (smooth) and the "ruksha" (rough) are...
