240. Question: How do indivisible pudgala atoms transform into skandha form? Answer: There are two alternatives for any particular quality: smoothness and roughness. These are the causes of binding. There are countless, infinite variations of these alternatives, from one to countless, compared to the indivisible intersections (the non-existent parts of power). Binding occurs in at least two atoms. So, these two atoms can be smooth or rough, or one smooth and one rough, and binding can occur. In both smoothness and roughness, binding occurs where there is an increase of two in the two qualities (a two-quality smooth or rough with a four-quality smooth or rough, and a three-quality smooth or rough with a five-quality smooth or rough), but the binding of atoms with the lowest quality (one non-existent part) does not occur. The atom with more qualities transforms the atom with fewer qualities into its own form. 241. Question: What is astikaya? How many types are there?
