## The Fifth Bond of Karma
"The use of the substance mentioned in the *Dristivada* is for the purpose of forming a shape like the tip of a finger, as it is useful here." - *Anuyogadvara Tika*, page 163, Explanation of the divisions of the Angula.
In the context of explaining the nature of the *Uddharapalya* simile, the *Utsegha Angula* was used to indicate the creation of a pit-like *palya* that is one *yojana* long, wide, and deep. In the investigation of this, the *Atma Angula*, *Utsegha Angula*, and *Pramana Angula* - these three divisions of the *Angula* have been explained. Here, their nature is explained.
*Atma Angula* - ...one's own *Angura* is formed, or the height of one's own body is 108 *Angula* in measure. That *Angula* is called the *Atma Angula*. The measure of this *Angula* is not always the same, because the height of human bodies increases and decreases due to differences in time.
*Utsegha Angula* - The *Paramanu* is of two types - one is the *Nischya Paramanu* and the other is the *Vyavahara Paramanu*. An infinite number of *Nischya Paramanu* make up one *Vyavahara Paramanu*. Although that *Vyavahara Paramanu* is actually a *Skandha*, it is called a *Paramanu* from a practical point of view, because it is so subtle that even the sharpest weapon cannot pierce or break it. Still, it has been considered the root cause for measurement. It is like this - an infinite number of *Vyavahara Paramanu* make up one *Unashlakshna-Shlakshnika*, and eight *Unashlakshna-Shlakshnika* make up one *Shlakshna-Shlakshnika*. Eight *Shlakshna-Shlakshnika* make up one...
*Jivasamaas* - In urine, an infinite number of *Janashala-Palakshnika* make up one *Shlakshna-Shlakshnika*.
It has been established that one *Shlakshna-Shlakshnika* is made up of an infinite number of *Janashala-Palakshnika*, but in the *Agamas*, it has been stated as eightfold in many places. Therefore, here too, it has been accepted according to the *Agamas*.
