678 / Go. Sa. Jiva Kanda
Solution - This is not a fault because when there is an increase in the indivisible intersection of the inferior quality, two quality states are seen.
Doubt - How is the second quality name of the same indivisible intersection?
Solution - Because only that much difference in quality is seen in the difference in substance. The second quality name is of the second special state of the Guga and the third quality name is of the third special state. Therefore, with the inferior quality (when there is an increase in one indivisible intersection), double and triple become.
Gatha 606-618.
These quality-possessing atoms have an initial (first) classification. Because the first classification has one chain name. Of these, two atoms with initial qualities are capable of bonding. The bonding rule is at least two atoms. When these two atoms bond with each other, the name becomes. Smooth atoms do not bond with other smooth atoms because they are the same in terms of smooth quality. Rough atoms do not bond with other rough atoms because they are the same in terms of rough quality. Smooth pudgal and rough pudgal achieve mutual bonding because they have diversity (heterogeneity).
Doubt 1 - Does the bonding of smooth and rough pudgal occur in relation to the indivisible intersections of qualities or does the bonding of dissimilar smooth and rough pudgal occur in relation to the indivisible intersections?
Solution - Those pudgal which are composed of smooth and rough qualities, which are the same in relation to the indivisible intersections of qualities, are called shaped. They also bond. Shapeless, i.e., those with dissimilar indivisible intersections, also bond. Smooth and rough pudgal bond with each other, whether they are the same or different in terms of the number of indivisible intersections of qualities.
Doubt - Does smooth not bond at all with smooth or rough with rough?
Solution - If bonding occurs, then with two quality pudgal, if the bonding is in the state of smooth, then it occurs only with the more smooth pudgal. If the bonding of rough pudgal with other rough pudgal is in the state of more rough pudgal, then it occurs only with the more rough pudgal. Bonding does not occur with other ferve and rough with rough. It is also said
"Dvadhika vigunanaam tu || 5 / 36 ||" [Tattvarth Sutra]
- Bonding occurs of those with two more qualities. For example, bonding does not occur between two smooth quality atoms with one smooth quality atom, with two smooth quality atoms, with three smooth quality atoms, but bonding does occur with four smooth quality atoms, and similarly, bonding occurs between the same two smooth quality atoms with five smooth quality atoms, and similarly with six, seven, eight numbers, innumerable and
